Crustless Pizza

Some of us were talking about this today and I promised the recipe. Here it is! And many thanks to tooter from the message board for this creation If you are interested in any of her other recipes you can find them at: (www.)freepgs.com/bariatricbytes/ Burger pizza - no crust by Dame Tooter 1 pound ground beef 1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced (for dried reduce amount to 1 tsp.) 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced (for dried reduce amount to 1 tsp.) 1 clove garlic, minced (for dehydrated use 1 tsp.) 1/2 cup pizza sauce (I like Ragu) 1 package Hormel pepperoni slices (or meat of choice or omit it altogether) Optional add-ons: diced bell peppers, mushrooms, pineapple, black olives, etc.) 2 cups Kraft Pizza cheese (to make you can combine equal amounts of finely shredded mozzarella and mild cheddar cheeses) In a large bowl combine ground beef with basil, oregano and garlic. Spread this out in a 2-inch deep baking dish, pushing the meat up the sides to form a 'shell'. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for 40 minutes or until cooked through, but not dry. Carefully drain off any excess grease. Spread over the top, but not up the sides with pizza sauce, meat, and any toppings you like. Lastly, spread cheese evenly over and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and melted. Gigee

Tooter, I think a trip to Delaware is in order for you! Your crustless pizza was the talk of the town...I am going to try this one too! Anytime you want to visit the east coast you are welcome to hang out with us in Wilmington....that is if you promise to whip up something special for us First State people! Thanks for all the good recipes and keep on cookin! Oh and thanks to Gigee for posting and chatting about this one! Debbie

aaaw you are just TOO sweet! Thanks I'd LOVE to visit DE again some day! Maybe when my kids are grown I can float the country again instead of just the state boards

(((((((( Tooter ! )))))))))) wohooo! you are everywhere!

I get bored easily lol..so I float around and around and around....gee I'm getting dizzy

Hiya Gigee, How are you doing, how is back to work, how are the price of eggs in east Jabip?? lol, ok I guesss I have asked you everything. Thanks for posting the recipe, I always enjoy madame tooters stuff, she's very creative. Hmm, now if I could just get her to come over and actually cook it for me! Linda

and mom said I'd never hear anything good when I eavesdrop

lmao, you are too funny!

Hey, looky who's hangin' out here in Delaware! You're welcome to eavesdrop any ole time you want to...umm..now about that dinner..I was thinkin' maybe around 6? You could fly here, getting a direct flight to either Baltimore or Philly, I'm about a 45 min drive from both so that's flexible huh! Cook dinner, stay and chat, hop your flight back home and with the time difference be back before your kids and hubby even knew you were gone. See, I have it ALL worked out Oh yeah....then I woke up Linda
