Bubble Up Pizza

Seems I am always slow in trying the recipes flooding the blogsphere!  I didn't post cake pops till maybe two years after they were all the rage.  I've seen versions of this Bubble Up Pizza for at least a year or so.  I rarely make homemade pizza.  Pizza for us is usually take out or the frozen ones from Trader Joe's.  With a lot going on, I was looking for a simple recipe that didn't involve the slow cooker and saw this one in my Pinterest file. 

Pizza is one of my favorite foods.  It's one of those foods I would choose, if stranded on a dessert island!  I am all about the crust, of course the part that's the worst for you.  If you're a crust person, you'll love this pizza.  Best of all, it's so easy to make and you can choose whatever toppings you like.  I made a half recipe in a cast iron skillet.  With a salad, this would be perfect for a family of four.  As a blogger, I try a lot of new recipes but don't make very many of them more than once,  this one is going into the regular rotation!!!

Pour mixture into greased oven safe skillet or 9×13 baking pan. Chiffonade the basil and sprinkle on top along with remaining cheese.
