Bubble up Pizza Casserole

So I've been spending way too much time on pinterest lately...especially looking a food.  Never a good thing...it makes me hungry all the time.  But I came across a recipe for  Bubble Up Enchiladas and while I was looking at the comments on the blog post, someone mentioned that did a similar recipe but made it with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese and that sounded better to me...my family likes LOVES pizza.  Then later that day, I was on another food blog for freezer meals and the same recipe was there. So I knew I just had to try it.

Bubble Up Pizza Casserole

Ingredients
2 cans Pillsbury biscuits
2 14oz jars pizza sauce
1lb ground hamburg, browned and drained 
3 cups Mozzarella cheese (reserve 1 cup)

Directions
1.Cut Biscuits into quarters. 
2. Add jars of Pizza Sauce, Hamburg,  & 2 cups cheese; mix well.
3. Place in greased 9x13 dish. Top with remaining 1 cup Cheese. 
4. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 40-45minutes.




The family score on this recipe is a 5 out of 5 stars....the boys gobbled it up and Mike couldn't stop sneaking his fork back into the 9x13.  I'm hoping they will like the enchilada style as well.  Happy Thursday y'all!!!!

Pepperoni Pizza Bites

So like I said on my last post, I've been spending a lot of time on Pinterest.com and am finding tons of new recipes to try.  After my original plan for dinner back fired on me (I was on pinterest and the soup burnt to the bottom of the pan.  It stunk up the house!!!)  I had to come up with something different.  Seeing how Mike is in the field harvesting corn, I quickly thought of this tasty looking pizza bites.   I threw a batch together and the boys eat the whole thing...so I had to make another batch and brought those out to Mike for supper....I'm already sick of harvesting season.  

Pepperoni Pizza Bites

• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• pinch of salt 
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup pepperoni sliced, chopped
• 1/2 cup store-bought pizza sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, & salt ; whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan and pepperoni; let stand for 10 minutes.

2. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.

These would also be great as an appetizer...Enjoy!!!!

Grill Pizza on the BBQ

So I have a new favorite food I absolutely LOVE this summer, it's grilled pizza.    Pizza's a favorite anyway, but there's an amazing crunch in the crust, but it's still soft and chewy in the inside.  My mouth's just thinking about it.

SO Good!!!!

and instead of written how it's done, I'm going to forward you on to Our Best Bites website.  If you never been, they have some amazing recipes.

So I hope the next time it's too hot to cook inside, you remember this and take your pizza making outside to the BBQ.

ENJOY!!!!

Homemade Pizza

 We LOVE to make pizza at our house.  I must confess I buy the dough,  but the boys love it all the same. It's just a fun thing to do as a family.

Does anyone else like to make homemade pizza?

YUM-O!!!!

Stromboli

When Mike and I were engaged to be married, Mike's mom made a recipe book for me of all the recips she liked to make that Mike would eat.  This is one of them....Stromboli.

Now I do spend the extra time to make the bread dough in my bread machine, but you could also bu the frozen dough loaves at the store, thaw it and let it raise.  I believe you will get the same results.  

After the dough is ready, I sprinkle some flour on the countertop, so the dough doesn't stick to it.  Then start rolling.

and keep rolling until you have a nicely shaped rectangle, about 10" x 15"

Once the dough is rolled out, then you need to grab 2 eggs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper and olive oil.  Mix these together according to the recipe and spread the mixture on the rolled dough.  I find it's easiest to get my fingers dirty and spread it out with them.

Add  provolone cheese slices over the egg mixture,

and what ever other topping you like...my family prefers just pepperoni and ham,

and more cheese.

Roll up the dough, making sure you seal the seams.  Place seam down on greased baking sheet. 

Brush with egg whites.

Before you know it, the house will be smelling so good and your kids will be excited for dinner

Plate and Serve!!!  

YUM!!!!
