Meat Lover's Pizza Hot Dish image

I make this hearty casserole for the men who help us out during harvest time. Every year they say it's the best, hands down. Throw in any pizza toppings your family likes-Canadian bacon, black olives and green peppers are some of our picks. -Brook Bothun, Canby, Minnesota

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
