Upside Down Pizza
Those nights when you want to have something fun are made for upside down pizza. We typically bake it in the cast iron skillet, however it also makes a great meal when done in a dutch oven. This is another simple meal that can differ every time you bake it.
It is a great meal and usually the children are excited when they realize that is what we are having. We have Suzanne over at Chickens in the Road to thank for upside down pizza.

You can modify the ingredients to match your tastes. This recipes will teach you things as well. Occasionally the crust will rise and sometimes it will be flat. The law of cooking means that the crust would not rise for the picture. That is ok as Upside Down Pizza still tastes good.
