MEAT LOVER'S PIZZA RICE SKILLET

Meat Lover's Pizza Rice Skillet image

My son named this "pizza rice" after I threw together a quick dinner from what I had in the fridge and pantry. Add any other pizza topping ingredients you desire. I often add black olive slices or mushrooms. Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan
