Blogger's note: We added a lot to the tomato sauce to make it a little more "pizza" like. These included italian spices and garlic powder.

What can I say? This recipe involved two firsts. 1) I've never ever before purchased Bisquick. 2) I've never ever before purchased shortening. I'm so glad we needed 2 Tbsp. of shortening to grease the pan. However, we used the electric frying pan the night before and it was really not very non-stick, so I was glad to have the shortening on hand today.

How'd it taste? That's a good question. It was really, really doughy. It was cooked. I'm sure of this, but it was just way too soft and doughy for our tastes. If you like thick crust pizza, you might like this one. You'll notice we used hot dogs. It did say meat of choice. We took our liberties. Besides it was the only meat we had. I'm not sure we'll ever make this again, but this would be great for a college kid. It's really, really cheap and very quick to make.
