Crustless Hamburger Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

In a large bowl mix the following ingredients thoroughly:

* 1/4 cup tomato soup

* 1 1/2 pound hamburger

* 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs

* 1/4 cup minced onions

* 1 egg

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1 med. clove garlic, minced

* 1/8 teaspoon oregano, crushed

* 1 package Mozzarella cheese


Directions:


Place a square of foil on a cookie sheet. Put the hamburger mixture on the foil. Pat out the meat

firmly into a 10 inch circle about 1/2 inch thick. Build a stand-up rim about 1 inch high all around

the edge of the circle. This makes a meat "crust" for your pizza (be sure to make the meat rim high

enough and firm enough so that it will prevent the meat juices and soup sauce from bubbling

over). Turn up the edges of the foil to catch drippings. Spread the rest of the 10 3/4 ounce can of

tomato soup over meat. Top hamburger crust with Mozzarella cheese and more oregano and

mushrooms. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until done.
