1/2 c green pepper, chopped (or to your liking)
2 Tbsp plus 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp fennel seed
1 can(s) (15 oz.) tomato sauce
2 c (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 eggs
1 c milk
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
cooking spray

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a non-stick skillet and make sure the oil is hot before adding the dough.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet or baking dish. Just be sure to grease it well so the pizza doesn't stick.
  • Feel free to get creative with your toppings. You can use any type of cheese, sauce, and toppings that you like.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pizza dough or sauce.
  • Serve the pizza casserole immediately after it's baked. It's best when it's hot and bubbly.

Upside-down pizza casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party.
