Meet the Cook: I created this recipe during a hot spell one summer. With the temperature in the 90's every day, I didn't want to turn on the oven. So I decided to make our favorite family pizza in a skillet instead! Anyone who likes pizza, has kids or just wants a quick and simple meal would likely enjoy Skillet Pizza. It's great to take along to get-togethers, too - you can prepare it at home, then just plug in the skillet when you arrive. My husband, our two children and I moved here from Seattle, Washington. The area we lived in had long been countryside, but it was rapidly being converted into housing developments. Now, we live in the country on a few acres, where we hope to plant a small orchard. -Darlene Markel, Roseburg, Oregon Ingredients:
1 package (6-1/2 ounces) pizza crust mix |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 cup pepperoni slices |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1/4 cup chopped green pepper |
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Grease a 12-in. electric or stove-top skillet. Prepare pizza crust according to package directions.
2. Line bottom and 1/2 in. up the sides of the skillet with dough. Combine tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and oregano; spread over dough. Layer pepperoni, onion, green pepper and olives over sauce; sprinkle with cheese.
3. Cover and cook over medium heat (set electric skillet to 375°) for 15 minutes or until crust is brown on bottom and cheese is melted. Slide out onto a cutting board and cut into wedges or squares. Serve immediately. Yield: 1 pizza (12 inches).
