Who doesn’t love pizza? I love this recipe because it assembles quickly and bakes up in short order. My family loves the way the pieces pull apart into perfect serving sizes!
In fact, I usually have to make multiple casserole pans full of this pizza to satisfy my crowd.
You know, in Ohio, we take football seriously. Almost as seriously as they do in Texas. (don’t tell the Texans!)
When the favorite Ohio team is playing, there are few cars on the streets, nobody in the stores, and nearly everybody is in front of the TV or the Radio listening to the game. Â Even my mother is concerned about who wins on Saturday.
(True confession: I’m not a football fan and I’ve discovered that game time is a great time to go grocery shopping… if I’m not invited to a tail gate party, that is!)
I love football food!!
