“Butter ‘n Love Recipes” is a cookbook I’ve been reading over the last several days.
It comes from Iowa Park, Texas (where I grew up) and includes recipes submitted by members of the Christ the King Ladies Auxillary. I’ve already made a handful of the recipes that are tucked away in its yellowed pages, and all of them have come out delicious.
This popover pizza recipe is one of them. The “popover”-style crust didn’t exactly do what it was supposed to, but that doesn’t mean you have to scrap the whole recipe.
This is basically an upside-down pizza. The crust is on top with the meat, cheese and sauce on bottom. It’s a great way to serve something unique for dinner.
You can include your favorite pizza toppings in this recipe. I made this for my husband’s lunches, so I stuck to what he likes: meat and cheese. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef and also threw in some pepperoni for good measure.
If I were making this for just myself, I would’ve added mushrooms, bell peppers and onions. I bet that would make a REALLY good popover pizza.
Enjoy!
