You can't help but smile back at this casserole! Made with familiar and always delicious pizza ingredients, your kids will be begging for more.


1 lb (500 g) lean ground beef
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped onion
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green pepper
1 can (8 oz) pizza sauce
1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup (250 mL) BISQUICK* mix
1/4 cup (50 mL) very hot water


  • Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease four small casseroles (1 1/2 cups/375 mL).
  • Cook ground beef, onion and bell pepper in large skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in pizza sauce and mushrooms. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon beef mixture into casseroles. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (50 mL) cheese on each.
  • Mix Bisquick* mix and very hot water; beat vigorously 20 seconds. Turn dough onto surface dusted with Bisquick* mix; gently roll in Bisquick* mix to coat. Shape into ball; knead about 10 times or until smooth. Divide dough into 4 balls. Pat each ball into circle the size of diameter of casserole. Cut steam vent in each circle with knife or cookie cutter. Place each circle on beef mixture in casserole. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until very light brown.




Tip
Variation: For a special Halloween twist, use a small cookie cutter to cut a jack o' lantern, cat, pumpkin or moon shape of the dough circle before putting it on the beef mixture.
