Hunk of Meat Monday: Deep Dish Pizza

With Maddie playing soccer a couple of nights a week lately, I have been looking for easy, hearty meals that I can prepare ahead of time or in the time that we are home from school getting out and time to head back to town for the game.  Last week I came across this recipe for a Deep Dish Pizza (get the full recipe by clicking on the link) by Christy Jordan on Southern Plate.  It was a hit with the girls and William.

All you need for the filling is: Ground Beef, Pizza Sauce or Spaghetti Sauce, Italian Seasoning, Parmesan Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, an Onion, and Pepper.

Start by browning your beef in a skillet.

Then, dice the onion and add to the browning beef.

 

While it is browning, prepare your 9x13 baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray and then covering the bottom of it with the mozzarella cheese.

When the beef and onion is finished browning, drain and then stir in the the pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce.  Note: I chose to use just a basic spaghetti sauce from a jar because I am just not the biggest fan of pizza sauce.

Then prepare the crust mixture of All Purpose Flour, eggs, bit of Salt and a little vegetable oil.  Mix those ingredients in a separate bowl and then pour over your meat mixture.

Top off with the Parmesan cheese and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.

While it is baking you will have time to put some clothes in the washer and help little ones with their homework.

After the pizza has baked -

and you have served it to your hungry crowd don't be surprised if you get these results from a little one who had a fight with a M&M earlier in the day.

(yes I do wash her face, but blue M&M is tough to get off)
