Impossible Pizza Pie

Great Recipes of the World August September 1983, p. 34

2/3 cup chopped onion

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 eggs

1 ½ cups milk

¾ cup biscuit and baking mix

Sauce (below)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 package (3 ½ ounces) sliced pepperoni

1/3 cup chopped onion

½ cup chopped green pepper

1 to 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Sauce:

Mix

1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste

¼ cup water

1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

½ teaspoon garlic salt

½ teaspoon dried basil leaves

¼ teaspoon pepper

It felt cool to be (kind of) making my own pizza sauce.


Heat oven to 425F. Grease pie plate, 10x1 ½ inches. Sprinkle 2/3 cup onion and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese in plate. Beat eggs, milk and baking mix until smooth, 15 seconds in blender on high or 1 minute with hand beater. Pour into plate. 

Theeere goes the Bisquick!


Bake 20 minutes. Spread Sauce over top. Layer remaining ingredients on Sauce. Bake until cheese is light brown, 15 to 20 minutes. 

From the top, you're like yes, yes that is a pizza.


Cool 5 minutes.

But then from the side you realize that the Bisquick crust is frightfully thick.

My Rating: 3/5 "I liked the concept - what can go wrong with quick, easy pizza? Bisquick, as it turns out, is what can go wrong. The crust was so thick, and although it was a nice texture by itself it wasn't a texture that belongs with pizza. I felt like I was eating pizza cake. That said, the overall flavor is nice and you gotta love those toppings for being peak 80s."
