DiscussionsPillsbury Recipe Magazine & Cookbooks

Searching for an old recipe that was on a small paper inserted inside flour years ago. THe crust was made from sour cream and Pillsbury flour but I can't remember exactly. There were 3-4 variations of filling and one was hamburger with cheddar cheese and catsup or tomato sauce. Does anyone have this recipe. Please and thank you. mimi

Hi mimi27022:

Thank you for joining!

Just confirmed with Linda this recipe. Here is what she had to say: 

We have crazy crust pizza and crazy crust apple pie but there may have been more.
 
CRAZY CRUST PIZZA

Prep Time:  30 minutes
(Ready in  50 minutes)
 
 Flour or cornmeal
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 (4-oz.) can mushroom pieces and stems, drained
1 (8-oz.) can pizza sauce
4 oz. (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
 

1.  Heat oven to 425°F.  Grease 12-inch pizza pan; sprinkle with flour.  Brown ground beef in large skillet until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently.  Drain.
 
2.  Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.  In small bowl, combine 1 cup flour, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, milk and eggs; blend until smooth.  Pour batter into greased and floured pan, tilting pan so batter covers bottom.  Spoon beef over batter.  Top with onion and mushrooms.

4.  Remove from oven.  Spoon pizza sauce over pizza; sprinkle with cheese.  Return to oven; bake an additional 7 to 12.
 
Yield:  6 servings

The above Crazy Crust Pizza is not it.  The recipe you're looking for was also on the back of the Pillsbury four bag for quite some time during the mid seventies.  I've looked for it for years...but have yet to find it...it was the best pizza I have ever had.  The one I recall had the sour cream and ground beef and cheddar cheese but that's all I remember.  If I find it I'll be sure to post it up here...please do the same!  Thanks.

Thank you!
