Cook's Tip:
Pick your family’s favorite pizza toppings to change this recipe up a bit. Love Hawaiian? Add pineapple and ham instead of pepperoni. Craving veggie lovers? Add your favorite diced vegetables with pizza sauce.
If you don’t have an oven-proof skillet, you can sprinkle the cheese over pasta and meat, cover and heat it over low heat for three to five minutes to melt the cheese.
