Pizza Hotdish

"It actually tastes like pizza! Kids love it, and it's a good way to hide veggies too. Feel free to add any leftover cooked veggies - green beans are great - or throw in some chopped tomatoes."

  1. My kids loved this meal! I used pizza sauce instead of tomato sauce and left out the herbs. This is a great meal to take to a potluck.
     
  2. I made this hotdish last night and it looked wonderful. I layered it as the directions said. Although, I think that next time I will mix the tomato sauce in with the hamburger and the spices. My family enjoyed. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
     
  3. Very delicious hotdish! Instead of the tomato sauce, I used a jar of garlic & herb spaghetti sauce and put some freshly chopped basil on top of the entire thing. DELICIOUS! My 5-yr. old kept shoveling it in saying "oh Mom, this is AWESOME!" Guess it passed the test!
     
  4. I didn't get to eat it, my husband did. He said that it tasted like pizza spaghetti. I made 3 separate servings. I served one today and have two more in the freezer for later. Thanks for a creative idea! edit: I rolled out a piece of biscuit dough on top of the leftovers and my husband seemed to like it that way too.

I learned how to cook from my mom, and love to putz around in the kitchen. I watch many shows on The Food Network, too, though Good Eats is my favorite. I have many recipes of my own but am always looking for something that's just a bit different. I am now on the look out for great tasting lower carb recipes, and for natural/organic, whole foods. Feel free to send me Zmail! My photo - this a photo was taken at The Hofbrau Haus in Munich, Germany in April 2007. My mom and I took a wonderful 3-week tour last year and ate here twice. The food was homey and delicious, and the bier was great! I can't believe I finished the whole thing... <a href="http://photobucket.com/icons/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/ilikeggs0607/icons/z5587136.jpg"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa9/deo0519/ZWT3/ab_fish_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa9/deo0519/ZWT3/ab_sm_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"><img src="http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/3476/mybanner483b81c1ea2dfah7.jpg">
