Easy Pizza Bake
If there’s ever a meal that everyone in the family can agree upon, it’s pizza. Warm, cheesy, gooey, and so good.
Rather than just another average pizza night, I jazzed things up with this fast, easy, one-bowl pizza bake.
I love how fast and easy it is, that it’s ready and on the table in 30 minutes, and so family-friendly.
My family went to town on it and I even heard, “This is one of the best things you’ve ever made.” Funny that it’s usually the super easy shortcut recipes that gets the highest praise and not the ones I slave over. What we didn’t eat that night was perfect for lunches the next day.
To make the stir-together dough I used Original Bisquick™ Mix. It takes about 1 minute to stir it together and it’s such a great shortcut rather than making your own pizza dough.
The dough is placed in a baking pan and topped with layers of pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese.
Easy comfort food at its finest that you can pull off any day of the week, even on a Monday. Want a surefire way to keep your kids at the dinner table longer? Add an easy dessert pairing. I’ve got one coming later in the week so check back for that recipe.
