This recipe is one of my kid’s favorite. My son loves pizza and he would eat it every night if I would let him. He thinks this recipe is a good substitute for the real thing. I have not made this in a while, so I need to put it on the meal plan again soon.
I have made this recipe many times. It is really easy to put together. Serve it with a salad or vegetables and you have a great meal. This is a fast and frugal recipe.
Pop Up Pizza Pie
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped green pepper
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce (jar or homemade)
Popover Batter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Brown ground beef with onion and pepper. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside. In a bowl combine milk, oil, and eggs. Beat one minute on medium speed. Add flour and salt to egg mixture and beat for two minutes or until smooth. Spread meat mixture into a 9×13 pan. Top with cheese. Carefully pour batter over cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

that looks delicious! we’ll give that one a try
Swwwweeeetttt!! Another recipe that uses ground beef!! This recipe would work well with leftover sauce from “spaghetti night” at my house too!
Thanks for sharing!
Going to bookmark it to try sometime soon! 
I’ve been known to dice up a little pepperoni and add it when we make this at our house.
Yummy!!! And so easy to make.
I am not sure what I did wrong but there was nothing popping up in my pizza. Should there have been some baking powder in the dough? The only thing I changed was used Egg Beaters instead of eggs.
@Robin, Robin, there is no baking powder in this. The eggs do the work for you. I think this is probably one of those recipes where you need to use regular eggs.
I made this tonight, too, for lunch tomorrow. I had a small bite- yum!!
