Bacon Cheeseburger Upside-down Pizza

[purple]

I found another one. This original recipe is from Pillsbury, "Casseroles".

(my notes included)

Filling:

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 medium onion, quartered, sliced (or diced)

1 medium bell pepper, any color, cut into bite-sized strips (I used Bird's Eye pepper stir fry with onions)

6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled

1 14.5 oz. can chunky pizza sauce (I used 2 cups Prego, check label)

2 to 3 Italian plum tomatoes, chopped (I didn't have any)

4 oz.- 6 thin slices, Cheddar cheese (or shredded)

Topping:

2 eggs

1 T. oil

1 cup Pillsbury Best All Purpose flour (I used Carol's sorghum flour blend + 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum)

1/4 tsp. salt (or onion flavored)

2 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled

Heat oven to 400 degrees .

In large saucepan (frypan) brown ground beef with onion and bell pepper; drain. Stir in 6 slices crumbled bacon and pizza sauce. Spoon into ungreased 13x9", or 3 quart, baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with tomatoes; top with cheese slices (or shredded).

In medium bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add milk and oil; mix well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour (and xanthan gum) and salt; beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour evenly over cheese slices. Sprinkle with 2 slices crumbled bacon.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes (30mins.) or until topping is slightly puffed and deep golden brown.

Comments on this one: I mised the pepperoni, next time I will add some I think. Another veggie could be added like green beans or potatoes with a bit extra sauce too. I sprinkled just a little cheddar on top and some Mrs. Dash. This recipe would be good if you wanted to omit the topping and add some frenchfries instead, with or without cheese. Really good.

My dh loved it 10 times more than the pepperoni recipe and said it would be good with green beans Must have been the bacon...hm
