  1. Everyone (2 adults, 4 year-old, and a 1 year-old) loved this. I only used one pound of ground beef, and that worked out fine. I used Recipe #110077 for the sauce, and added in a can of diced tomatoes. The crust and the cheese bake together to form a cheesy, chewy top that we all enjoyed. The leftovers are enough for another whole meal for us. Thanks for sharing! :)
     
  2. This was really yummy! Only thing I changed was using pizza sauce instead of spaghetti, and no green peppers. I have 4 kids and a very hungry husband, and we still had leftovers! It makes a lot and is very filling! Thanks!
     
  3. Crust was excellent! I added 1 tsp salt to hamburger mixture and the 1/2 tsp salt crust. Wish I had used the entire 16 oz Mozarella cheese ball. I used Turkey Pepperoni and it was delicious. The crust burned after just 14 minutes (in the center of my huge oven), so next time I'm going to use the lowest oven rack.
     
  4. We thought this was ok but hubby and I both agree that it wasn't great...sorry. Thanks for posting though.
     
  5. Very good! The only thing we will change next time is to cut the Italian spices in half as they were way to strong for our taste. Overall it was a great dish.

  2. MMMMMMMMMM, this is delish! I did a few things different simply because I didn't have everything on hand. I used chopped ham slices instead of pepperoni, used Mark E. Smith's pizza sauce - wow - Pizza Sauce #52041. I also used some meat season over the beef and veggies, and combo on the cheeses because I ran out. DH complimented between each and every bite, renaming the dish PIZZAGNA bc it tastes like a combo of pizza and lasagna. Awesome!

My DH & i moved closer to where he works, next door to his parents so we are there to help them when they get older. I like to cook experiment with foods, so i will have more time for this. I really do like this site & the support we get from friends we do not know.
