Pizza recipes are always great because they can be so versatile. This is a great recipe!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef or sausage
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 can mushroom stems and pieces, well drained (optional)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Crust:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
Sauce:
1 (8oz.) can tomato sauce
1 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions:
In a medium skillet, brown beef or sausage and onion. Season to taste, drain well and set aside.
While it is cooking, you can make the batter. In a small bowl, combine all crust ingredients. Mix until smooth and pour into a 12 or 15 inch pizza pan which has been greased and floured, tilting pan so batter covers bottom. Arrange the meat mixture over top. Add mushrooms if desired. Bake on low rack at 425 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.
Remove from heat. Pour 1 cup pizza sauce over top. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes longer.
I couldn't find a recipe for chicken pizza that I thought would appeal to my family so I came up with my own. It's simple to make and tasty.
Ingredients:
1 large chicken breast
1/2 jar Classico Four Cheese Alfredo sauce
mozzarella cheese
red peppers
green peppers
mushrooms
1 pizza crust
Directions:
Cook chicken breast and cut up fairly finely. Spread sauce over the pizza crust. Sprinkle the chicken over the sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella over crust and sauce, as much as you prefer. Cover with sliced fresh or canned mushrooms. Sprinkle with finely diced red and green peppers. Bake in 425 degree F oven for 12-15 minutes.
Let's face it, there is never enough time in a day to get things done we'd like to. One way to share time with kids is to pick one night a week that they have to make the meal. It teaches them to plan ahead, get familiar with items in the kitchen, and teaches them to be responsible. It's great when mom or dad give them a great big smile at the dinner table. Teaching them to read a cookbook is not a bad idea either.
Pull-apart pizza is a good starter recipe. Cut biscuit dough into bite size pieces and place into greased baking pan. Spread pizza sauce and cheese on top (extra toppings if desired) bake at 350 degrees F until cheese is bubbly, then cool on a platter. To eat, just pulls it apart.
I found this recipe on foodnetwork.com and it's the best pizza recipe I've ever made. Since the website didn't have a photo, I snapped a photo prior to baking.
I substituted my own pizza crust recipe as follows:
