Meat Lover’s Pizza Rice Skillet

Total Time Takes: 25 min.

Yield 6 servings

For a quick dinner, I threw this together from what I had in the fridge and pantry. Add any other pizza toppings you desire. I often add black olive slices or mushrooms. My son loves this and calls it pizza rice. —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan
