Four Ingredient Pizza Bake

I like to make my own pizza sauce with this! You can also add your favorite pizza toppings to the layers. Try cooked sausage crumbles, chopped green bell pepper, onion or olives. We add bacon!

Ingredients:

2 and 1/4 cups Bisquick®

1 cup water

1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce

1 package (8 oz) sliced pepperoni

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 

Directions:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
•  In medium bowl, stir Bisquick and water until soft dough forms. 
• Drop half of dough by spoonfuls evenly in bottom of baking dish (dough will not completely cover bottom of dish).
• Drizzle about 1 cup pizza sauce over dough. Arrange 1/2 of the pepperoni slices evenly over sauce.
• Top with 1 cup of the cheese. 
• Repeat layers with remaining dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into squares to serve.

1 cup diced, cooked carrots

4 cups hot mashed potatoes

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

8 oz. shredded cheese

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix together the oats, milk, egg and bouillon. Add the parsley, onion flakes, pepper, thyme, beef and carrots. Mix well.
• Place this mixture into a pie plate and bake for 45 minutes.
• While the beef mixture is baking, mix the onion powder and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper with the mashed potatoes.
