Pizza Casserole, featuring Wildtree's Pizza Sauce Seasoning - 40 minutes




My 8 and 10 year old daughters love pizza. We live in a small town without a pizza delivery option and I don't stock frozen pizzas in the freezer. So what to do when the kids are craving pizza ~ as my friend Jenny calls it, a little free style cooking and ta-da, pizza casserole is on the table. Now, as a single mom, working a full time job with a 20 minute drive home, there isn't a lot of time at night to spend slaving away in the kitchen. Little voices asking what's for dinner and when are we eating means I need to find something fast and yummy. My toughest critic and experimental limiter? A finicky 8 year old who will meticulously pick out tiny bits of onion, tomato and whatever else she decides isn't worthy of her palate. Using healthy Wildtree products allows me to make sauces, blends and seasoning mixes in minutes, jazzing up and flavoring meals with little effort. The best part, Wildtree is all natural USDA certified organic without unpronounceable additives and preservatives!
