Popover Pizza Casserole



Popover Pizza Casserole

This recipe, with its popover-like crust, is quick to prepare, especially if you have pre-cooked and frozen your ground beef or pork. Since I had packages of both in my freezer, I used a half pound of each. The combination was really good. I freeze my meat in heaping 2 cup portions, which is about a pound. If I don't need the full pound, a quick tap of the package on the counter will break the package contents in half. Remove the needed portion and immediately return the remainder to the freezer for another use.

Popover Pizza Casserole

1  pound ground beef or pork sausage or a combination of the two
1  cup chopped onion
1  cup chopped green sweet pepper
1 cup fresh sliced mushroom(or a small can of sliced mushrooms)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (3-1/2-ounce package) sliced turkey pepperonis, halved (Kitchen shears make quick work of this chore.)
1 (16-ounce) jar pizza sauce
2  eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Remove eggs and milk from fridge and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook meat, onion, green pepper and mushrooms until meat is brown and vegetables are tender; drain fat.
Add garlic, pepperonis and pizza sauce into meat mixture; bring to boiling.
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While meat mixture has almost finished simmering, make batter by combining the eggs, milk, and oil in the small bowl of your electric mixer; beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
Add flour; beat 1 minute more or until smooth.
Spoon meat mixture into prepared dish.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over meat mixture.
Pour batter over cheese, covering completely.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for about  25 to 30 minutes or until topping is puffed and golden brown.
Serve immediately.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
