Surprise Pizza Casserole
If I had my way, pizza would be on my menu multiple times a week, but lots of carbs in the typical pizza crust isn’t the best for me. This casserole fills my taste for pizza and gets more vegetables in at the same time.
You gain more protein because of the eggs in the base. The flavor is enhanced by Buffy’s garlic seasoning!
