antipasto squares
This is absolutely the best!! A cross between antipasto and a deep-dish pizza. Cut into small squares for an appetizer or larger squares for a main dish. I have had this recipe for a few years and had forgotten about it, until I was going through some old cookbooks and a paper fell out that I had it written down on. Great for company, game day, or any day. You will not be disappointed.
