I will admit, I'm a cheap momma. We rarely go out to eat and I'm always on the lookout for economical family meals (that my kids will ACTUALLY eat). As I was flipping through The Duggars: 20 and counting! (still excitedly, of course) I spotted this little pizza recipe. I thought it to be extremely clever and dare I say.... CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!! I usually prefer inexpensive, but cheap is definitely growing on me :) I made this recipe for my kiddies lunch yesterday. I made one per kid not knowing how much they would eat or if they would even eat them. They scarfed these babies down! Brad came in the house and Chase fed him a bite of his. I ended up having to make more for the kids and some for Brad's lunch too. Everyone really liked these. I love the fact these take less than 10 minutes from start to finish. These deserve a big A+!POOR MOMMA'S PIZZA
sliced bread
spaghetti or pizza sauce (I made my own-the recipe is below)
shredded mozzarella cheese
Pre-heat oven to 450. Place bread on baking sheet. Top bread with sauce and spread to edges. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 5-10 minutes (it took 6 minutes in my oven). Enjoy :)
PIZZA SAUCE
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp garlic salt
Mix ingredients. IMPORTANT- let set 30 minutes to an hour. This makes the flavors combine and taste amazing.

Stopping by from SITS to say welcome to the SITStahood!!
Hey, if everyone loved it, that's a thumbs up to keep on the menu!
I've just started using english muffins when I'm too lazy to make dough. =)

And, a great use for stale bread! I get so tired of grilled cheese sandwiches. :)
Happy SITS!
Enjoy your SITS Day in the spotlight.

I am including a link to your blog though in my Sunday's post, "What's In Your Crockpot?" at www.zemeks.blogspot.com. This is the best cooking blog I've come across!
I'll give it a go sometime...looks like something hubby would dig.
{ps. when I make my own sauce, I food process carrots and spinach and throw them in, the red hides them really well {and they don't change the flavor}so they don't know that they are getting extra veggies}
Happy SITS day!
Cute blog! Yummy recipes!
Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS Day!
Thanks for sharing!
Another inexpensive meal that the kiddos LOVE is making your own pig-in-a-blanket. Just roll hotdogs in a crescent roll (Pillsbury or storebrand both work well) and bake until golden brown. The kids like to MAKE them and EAT them! :)
BTW - Happy SITS day.
Visiting from SITS!
Sounds like a good plan the next time I don't want to cook.
Happy SITS day! :)
Brings back memories! And they WERE good!
Once again, Happy SITS day.

I absolutely love your ideas. I'm always looking for inexpensive meal ideas that are kid approved. So many of those cookbooks for kids are full of things that my children refuse to eat.
Happy SITS day.
Congrats on your SITS day!
Thanks, SITSA!
I use caned biscuits, peperoni, spaghetti sauce, and shredded cheese placed on pan like mini pizzas and cooked to biscuit directions.
Oh so yummy and cheap.
I found your blog yesterday and love it. I've been reading back through all your posts and making notes of all the great recipes to try. I will definitely be following!
