5-MINUTE PIZZA

Image 6 Comments

Pizza is really good when you can add to it whatever suits your fancy! You can even make a “pizza party” by setting out many toppings and letting your family pick and make their own. It only takes 5 minutes to bake in the Electric Skillet at 325 degrees!

Start by using two tortillas any size you want.

Place tortillas on a pizza pan and add pizza sauce. You can buy already made pizza sauce in the grocery store. We used Del Fratelli which comes in a can.

We preheated the 10 in. gourmet skillet and added mushrooms to brown without oil.

They browned beautifully and caramelized then I sliced them in pieces in the skillet and added them to my pizza.

In fact, we added all kinds of toppings. Onions, Greek Kalamata olives, peas, corn, and Pesto to name a few.

Put the cheese on top of the pizza and placed it in the preheated 12″ Electric Skillet

Bake 5 minutes with the lid on and take it out with a spatula.

The crust will be nicely browned and crispy.

Delicious and quick. Can’t beat a 5 minute meal! The kids will love them!

John and I travelled to FL for Christmas this year and stopped at Cracker Barrel on the way home for dinner.  One of their new sides is a Brussel Sprout and Kale Salad that we just loved.  I went online to get the recipe and pretty much followed it.  If you’ve never had this salad and never been to Cracker Barrel, you have to try this salad!  We made it on New Year’s Eve and we just finished it up today, 1-3-18.  I hope you will like it as much as we did!  By the way, I had it with the lightly fried (cornmeal) Catfish.  YUM  Getting hungry again!
