I would call this chow. Predictable, not great. Cheese and "crust" mushed together when baking. I think another upside down pizza is worth trying.

This is a great fast dinner. I usually have all the ingredients on hand so it's one of our go to recipes. It tastes pretty good. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the crust is plain, but it's not bad. It would not prevent me from making it again.

My kids love this meal. I, too, add additional seasonings and often substitute ground turkey for thebeef. We also toss in some pepperoni. This and a tossed salad make a quick, hearty meal.

this is a quick pizza dinner. but the "crust" tastes kinda "plain". so i added a few tablespoons of italian seasoning to it and it perked up a little bit. i'm not sure if i'll make it again.
