Easy Deep-Dish Pizza (from Betty Crocker's Creative Recipes with Bisquick) 3 cups Bisquick baking mix 3/4 cup Cold water 1 pound Ground beef 1/2 cup Chopped onion 1/2 tsp Salt 2 cloves Garlic, crushed 1 15oz can Tomato sauce 1 tsp Italian seasoning 1 4.5ox jar Sliced mushrooms, drained 1/2 cup Chopped green pepper 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella cheese (about 8 oz) Heat oven to 425. Lightly grease jelly roll pan, 15.5x10.5x1 inch, or cookie sheet. Mix baking mix and water until soft dough forms; beat vigorously 20 strokes. Gently smooth dough into ball on floured cloth- covered board. Knead 20 times. Pat dough in bottom and up sides of pan with floured hands. Or roll into rectangle, 13x10 inches, and place on cookie sheet; pinch edges of rectangle, forming 3/4 inch rim. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, salt and garlic until beef is brown. Mix tomato sauce and Italian seasoning; spread over dough. Spoon beef mixture over sauce. Top with remaining ingredients. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. 8 servings. (High Altitude [3500-6500 ft] Heat oven to 450; use boiling water; bake 15-20 minutes) We add Pepperoni to beef mixture when cooking it; also use sliced fresh mushrooms; other variation possible to taste. Generally use two 9 inch cake pans with excellent results. My wife just pulled it out of the oven, so got to go. Enjoy! TJ (with Amazing Grace) The Piper ssc-vax!tjj
