Double-Crust Pizza Casserole

Ingredients:

2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
2 cans (15 ounces each) pizza sauce, divided
2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 cups biscuit/baking mix
1-1/4 cups 2% milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 plum tomato, chopped

Method:

1Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in 1 can pizza sauce and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5-6 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
2In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix, milk and egg; stir just until moistened. Spread half of the batter onto bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Spread with remaining pizza sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, pepper, onion and beef mixture. Spoon remaining batter over top; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
3Bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with tomato. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
