1 1/2 pound ground beef or sausage or 1 cup thinly sliced pepperoni sausage.

BATTER:

1 c. Pillsbury Best all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Italian seasoning or leaf oregano
2/3 c. milk

TOPPING:

Meat mixture
1 can (4 oz.) well-drained mushroom stems & pieces, if desired
1/4 c. chopped onion, if desired
1 c. pizza sauce
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese

Oven 425 degrees. 14 or 12 inch pizza.

In medium fry pan, brown ground beef or sausage, seasoning to taste. (No need to brown pepperoni.) Drain well. Set aside. Lightly grease and dust with flour or cornmeal 14 or 12 inch pizza pan or 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan.

Prepare Batter. (No need to sift flour; measure by lightly spooning into cup and leveling off.) In small bowl combine flour, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, eggs and milk, mixing until smooth.

Pour batter into pan, tilting pan so batter covers bottom. Arrange Topping of meat, onion and well-drained mushrooms over batter.

Bake on a low rack in oven at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes until pizza is deep golden brown. (Deep brown gives a crisp crust.) Remove from oven; drizzle with pizza sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes.

If desired, use 1 can (8 ounce) tomato sauce, 1 to 2 teaspoons leaf oregano and 1/4 teaspoon pepper as a substitute for the pizza sauce.
