This is one of the original 'crazy crust' recipes from Betty Crocker - before
it used
Bisquick! My mother discovered it in the early 1970s, and this is straight
from the
recipe card she wrote.
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning blend
1/8 tsp. pepper
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 4-oz. can sliced mushrooms, drained
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups pizza sauce
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cook ground beef and onion in a heavy saucepan
over
medium heat until beef is browned and onion is tender, stirring to break up
meat. Drain
well and set aside. Lightly grease 14" round pizza pan and dust with flour.
Set aside.
In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, seasoning blend and pepper
and
mix well. Add milk and eggs and stir just until smooth. Pour batter into
prepared pan,
tilting pan as necessary so batter covers bottom of pan. Sprinkle cooked
ground beef,
onions, and drained mushrooms over batter. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25
minutes
until pizza is golden brown. Remove pizza from oven, drizzle with pizza sauce
and
sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Return to oven for 12-18 minutes until crust is deep golden brown and cheese
is melted.
