"For a simple side dish that's sure to appeal to kids, try this twist on traditional pizza," advises Kathy White of Chicopee, Massachusetts. Packaged scalloped potatoes, canned tomatoes and pepperoni slices are combined for fast Italian fare that's delightfully different.

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian stewed tomatoes
1-1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

Combine the potatoes and contents of sauce mix in a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. In a large saucepan, bring the tomatoes, water and oregano to a boil. Pour over potatoes. Top with pepperoni.
Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

My husband and I love this recipe. I've been making it for years. Sometimes I'll change it up a little and use 1/2 lb of browned pork sausage, a small can of mushrooms, and some chopped green pepper instead. Pepperoni still remains our favorite though. My recipe is slightly different. It calls for 1/2 tsp oregano and 2 cups of cheese. I put the cheese on at the same time as everything else. The cheese makes a little crust on the top but that's the way we like it. I bake it, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes. This recipe is supposed to feed 4 but we like it so much that sometimes we almost eat the whole thing ourselves. We'll probably be fighting over the leftovers tomorrow :)
