Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 or 10-inch electric skillet generously with shortening.
- Add a dash of oregano to the Bisquick. Combine Bisquick and milk; spread on the skillet bottom and 1/4 inch up the sides.
- Pour the sauce over the batter and spread to within 1/4 inch of the edge of the batter.
- Top with remaining ingredients in the order listed.
- Set the control at 300°F and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the cover during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Cut into squares and lift out with a spatula.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispy crust, ensure the skillet is well-greased and preheated before adding the batter. You can substitute the prepared pizza sauce with homemade marinara or tomato sauce if desired. Feel free to customize the toppings; try adding bell peppers or olives for extra flavor. If you prefer a vegetarian option, simply omit the sausage or salami. This dish is similar to other American recipes that use a base with various toppings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Speedy Pizza Pie hot, cut into squares for easy sharing. It pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad or garlic bread. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Cheddar Artichoke Appetizers for a delightful combination. This dish is perfect for family gatherings or casual dinners.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pizza pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a skillet over low heat to preserve the crust's texture, or microwave for about 30 seconds until warmed through. Avoid reheating at high temperatures to maintain the quality of the cheese and toppings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! While Jack cheese adds a nice flavor, you can substitute it with mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a different taste. Mixing cheeses can also create a unique flavor profile. Just ensure the cheese you choose melts well to achieve that gooey texture.
Is it possible to make this pizza pie gluten-free?

Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and toppings in advance. Store the batter in the refrigerator and add the toppings just before baking. This makes it a great option for busy nights, allowing you to quickly assemble and bake a tasty meal without much effort.
