Hi Everyone! Welcome to March. I hope your Thursday is going well. Today is a "snow" day in Brampton for all school buses because we are supposed to have a storm coming in for the drive home tonight...it looks like March is supposed to come in like a lion, does that mean it's going to go out like a lamb? We'll see.

Today our 10 year old has picked the recipe for me. I handed him a cookbook and asked him what a kid would enjoy for dinner and he picked about 3 or 4 recipes then decided Pizzaburger Pie would be today's feature recipe. Thursday night's we make pizza and chicken wings, maybe one week we will try this instead.

If you have a recipe that you would like to submit, send me an email. I'd love to see what you have.

Thanks for the recipe, Ryan!

1 lb. hamburger

1/2 cup dry cracker or bread crumbs

1/2 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. salt

1 can tomato sauce

1 can drained kidney beans

3 ozs. Cheddar or Mozzarella cheese, cut into strips

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.Mix burger, crumbs, oregano, salt and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Spread in ungreased 10-inch pizza pan.Top with remaining sauce, spread kidney beans over top. Arrange cheese strips in criss-cross design on beans. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.

Or you could omit the kidney beans and add one of the following toppings instead:

1 can mushrooms stems and pieces, drained
1 can drained whole kernel corn
1 can cut grean beans, drained
1 medium sized onion, sliced or chopped fine
1 package frozen french fried onion rings
1 handful drained sliced pizza olives
1 handful drained hot peppers
1 handful frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed well
A couple drained anchovy strips, chopped fine...unless Dad is eating it, he doesn't like them!

Any other veggie toppings you would put on a pizza.
