This simple pour pizza has all the great flavor of a pizza with your favorite toppings. The real difference is in the crust. The pour pizza crust is a simple batter that’s poured into the baking pan. The toppings are sprinkled over the batter and it’s baked. Easy peasy!
I used our favorite toppings: ground beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, and sliced black olives. It’s a combo casserole-pizza, and it makes a satisfying family meal that everyone will enjoy. If you love pizza but don’t have time to make a homemade dough, this is an excellent option!
