This looks soo good, @LilBitMissty!

This recipe is similar to one that my Mom used to make for us when I was growing up. She never wrote it down though-she would just put it all together into a casserole after browning the ground beef and the onion together.

She used to put mushrooms in it, and then would top it with American cheese and then heat it up until warmed through.

Your version sounds so wonderful! We both love pizza!

I like the idea of the Italian seasonings, and adding in additional veggies or meats. Yummy!

Thanks again for sharing this with us!
