Gluten-Free Simplicity

Gluten-Free Pepperoni Casserole Dish Hash Brown Pizza

Gluten-Free Pepperoni Hash Brown Pizza (c.2009, WTB)

  I know it sounds funny, but at first, I could not decide whether this was a form of lasagna or a version of pizza.  But given that it was absent the ricotta cheese and loads of seasoned ground beef and saucy topping, I opted for the good old 6th Century B.C. Pizza.

  What does it look like to you?

  OK… Anyway… So, this Gluten-Free Pepperoni Casserole Dish Hash Brown Pizza was just incredible!  Even after being left over and reheated… like any great pizza…. or casserole… it was delicious!
