Deep Dish Pizza Bake is quick and easy; it can be assembled in less than 20 minutes, and while it’s baking, the cook can set the table and put a salad together. Italian Meat Mix from the versatile Italian Meat Mix Module adds lots of spice and flavor. The ingredient list includes several popular pizza toppings, but it’s okay to clean out the fridge and add whatever happens to be in there or substitute personal favorite toppings.
