Upside Down Pizza Casserole

1 - 1 1/2 lb ground beef, turkey, or pork

1 medium onion, chopped

1-2 bell peppers, chopped

4-5 mushrooms, chopped

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

salt & pepper to taste

Combine all the above ingredients in a large skillet.  Cook over medium-high heat until meat is cooked through.  Spread in the bottom of a well greased 9x13 pan.

Spread 1/2 jar of spaghetti sauce over meat and veggie mixture.  Cover with pepperoni and shredded mozzarella cheese.  Sprinkle with grated parmesan.

Topping:

1 c. milk

1 T olive oil

2 eggs

1 c. plain flour (I used whole wheat)

1/2 tsp. salt

Mix, stirring just until combined.  Pour over casserole.  This makes a very thin layer of topping on your casserole.  If you wanted a thicker topping, you'd need to make more batter.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.  Enjoy!

You could get creative with this and use other pizza toppings that you like: spinach, tomatoes, black olives, artichokes, pineapple (if you're crazy enough to like that sort of thing), etc.  It's made just like an upside down pizza, so use your imagination. 

What else might you put in this dish?
