Upside Down Deep Dish Pizza Casserole

I love it when I can transpose one of Mary's recipes to be gluten free. Now for those of you who are not gluten free you can directly to Mary's website "Deep South Dish" and make her version. Lordy be if I didn't have to eat without gluten I'd weigh a ton because I think I'd make everything this girl has listed. Sometimes it pays to have to be on a special diet.

I have been wanting to try this for a while and now that my blood pressure is giving me problems I decided to make it really fast before my doctors appointment. Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to stop eating things like this for a while.

Upside Down Deep Dish Pizza Casserole
Posted at http://www.deepsouthdish.com/

8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tablespoon of canola oil
1 cup of chopped onion
1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
2-3 ounces of pepperoni, roughly chopped
1 pound of lean ground beef
1 (14 ounce) jar of pizza sauce
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of canola oil
2 eggs
1 cup of your favorite gf baking mix (I use Pamela's)
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch glass baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly on the bottom of the baking pan; set aside.

Heat the 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and cook the onion and bell pepper until soft, but not browned. Add the beef and cook until browned. Stir in the pepperoni and cook another 4 minutes; drain if needed. Stir in the pizza sauce and Italian seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the milk, oil and eggs. Add the flour and the salt to the milk mixture and whisk until well blended and smooth.

Carefully transfer the meat mixture evenly over the layer of mozzarella in the prepared pan. Pour the batter on top of the meat mixture, making sure to cover completely. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly on top.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Casserole with deflate and resemble an upside down deep dish pizza.

Company and Gluten Free German Chocolate Bundt Cake

I recently put some finishing touches on my decorating and this is all folks. I don't like to spend a lot of money just a little bit every year.

We've had a fun day today, Honey's parents came for a brief visit and we were able to show them around town. After a trip through the Hills we went to guess where? YOU GUESSED IT "Crystal Grill" for lunch and they agreed with everyone else it was wonderful. Then we continued to tour downtown and Grand Blvd and we visited The Museum of the Mississippi Delta, which I think they really enjoyed. After our museum tour Dad was more than ready to return home, you know how Dad's are they can't be away from home long! :-)

Me and Momma Joyce with our military coats on. In case you don't know she was the Rebel!

 We didn't get a thing to drink!!!!

Father and Son, Two American Farmers

What fun we had and memories were made! Come see us again sometimes!!!

See you later friends!! Have a good weekend!

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.

I've been with the girls for a night so that I could attend a bridal shower. It's always fun spending time with Punkin. We went to the local John Deere store and played on the toy tractors and then went out to eat. This morning I got up and got in the recliner because I felt that I was taking a headache when I heard a squeal. I kind of ignored it hoping that she would go back to sleep and curled up in the recliner with a blanket, then I heard it again followed by a whine so Gammy gave in and went to the room. She looked up over the edge of her crib and smiled real big, how could I resist. I picked her up and we snuggled in the recliner for a while until she started putting her fingers all over my face in places that they didn't belong. At this point I put her down on the floor to play. Oh the fun of being a grand-ma!!!

In November one of our nieces is getting married so all my children will be home. We plant to have Thanksgiving/Christmas together at that time. I can't wait it will be so much fun visiting with the adults and playing with the children. My oldest grand-daughter just turned nine, I can't believe it!!!!! Time slips right between our fingers and is gone before we know it.

Here are a few photos that Austin took of us with my Mac....

She didn't stay still.

She could see herself and thought it was so funny. I love the funny faces of a baby.

much better

Up and running. Now it time for me to attend the shower and then home again, home again, jiggety-jig. I have to hurry before the ballgame comes on. Go Dawgs!!!!!

Bacon Quiche

The harvest is finally over for us and we are preparing the soil for planting before the rain settles in. My allergies are killing me so I am praying for rain soon. I know God knows best but we are soooo dry here, I really think a good shower would help tremendously.

 I enjoyed spending time with Ash and Punkin last weekend as Ash hosted a Matilda Jane trunk show. My job was to keep up with Punkin and keep her happy. I was so thankful when one of Ash's friends came by with her children they kept Punkin happy as long as they were there. When they left I was on the run, that child keeps us busy! By the time her Daddy and PePaw came in she was ready for some time with men, I think she'd had all of us she could stand for one day.

I haven't cook anything new in a while but here is an old faithful I thought you would like. I am planning on breakfast for supper because Honey and I haven't had it in a while.

This is a wonderful easy Quiche recipe that my whole family loves.

1 1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine; melted
1/2 cup baking mix (I use Pamela's)

8 strips of bacon; cooked and crumbled
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a blender, combine eggs, milk and butter. Add biscuit mix and pepper; cover and process for 15 seconds. Pour into greased 9-in. pie plate. Top with bacon and cheese.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Enjoy friends and I hope you have a great week.
