Homemade Supreme Pizza

1 box of Chef Boyardee Pizza Maker Kit
1 lb ground beef
1 lb sausage
1 pkg pepperonis
1 green pepper
1 red onion
1 small can chopped black olives
1 small carton fresh mushrooms
1 cup cheddar cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Italian cheese blend

Follow box directions for crust. I use a cookie sheet (instead of two separate pans) and press crust dough onto cookie sheet and up sides. Brown beef and sausage (add veggies to meat as it cooks if you like or saute the veggies separately.) Then drain meat mixture. Add pizza sauce to crust and sprinkle Parmesan cheese onto the pizza sauce on the crust. Then add meat mixture to the crust. Then layer pepperonis. Then add cheddar cheese, then mozzarella cheese and top with Italian blend cheese. Bake at 425* for 20 minutes. And enjoy!
My husband said "your homemade pizza is better than any pizza place pizza." I told him I was gonna quote him on that! :) This is another meal he could eat everyday. Maybe he is just being nice..but he seems to be pretty fond of most of the dinners I make.

Marvelous Meatballs
2 lbs hamburger
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup oatmeal
2 TB chopped onion
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper



Mix all ingredients together and roll into balls and put in an ungreased 9x13 baking pan.

Sauce

2 cups Ketchup
2 TB liquid smoke

Whip together and pour over meatballs. Bake uncovered for 1 hour on 350*. DELISH!

These meatballs are my Hubby's favorite dinner! He would eat these everyday if he could! I got the recipe from his mom, who got it from her mom, who got it from someone...so it has been passed down for generations. MY grandma even requested the recipe to serve for company!

This recipe is a staple at our house. I found the recipe in my Taste of Home 5 ingredient cookbook and instantly loved it! I have shared this recipe with my Mammaw, my Grandma, my sis in law and my neighbor and they all loved it and make it all the time!
The best part, SO easy and SOOO Yummy!
I usually serve it with fetticini alfredo and steamed broccoli. That way I can eat it as a pasta as well :)
Ok so now...the recipe!
