Super Bowl Pizza-In-A-Pan
This is a tasty dish that is quick and easy to make. There is no crust, so if you think you need something, you could serve it with another recipe. Yummy! It can be made ahead of time and the toppings put on before you bake it. If you do that, let it stand at room temperature for a little while. NOTE: I sometimes do it all in a frying pan and then put it into a casserole dish and bake it and not use an oven-proof skillet. Works well both ways.
