I don't remember where I first found this recipe, but we love it. I have also seen this called pour-a-pan-pizza. It is quick, easy, and tastes delicious.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Fast and easy, we loved this unique way to prepare a pizza. It's a cross between a deep dish pizza and a pizza casserole. The crust is not a traditional crust. More like bread, it does have a nice texture. Once the crust is made, customize it with the toppings your family likes. We used black olives, mushrooms, and pepperoni, and enjoyed that combination. But mix and match toppings and cheese to suit your needs. Simple to throw together, this pizza recipe uses a few pantry staples. It can be made on those nights you don't know what to make for dinner.
