More Information For You:

Unfortunately, there isn't a well-documented origin story for pizza casserole. However, by looking at the history of its two key components, we can make some educated guesses about its rise to popularity.

Casseroles:

• Baked dishes combining various ingredients have existed for centuries. The word "casserole" itself likely emerged in the 17th century, referencing the deep, round baking dish used for these meals.
• Casseroles gained immense popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly in the US. Their convenience perfectly suited the needs of busy families.
• The rise of convenience foods like canned vegetables and prepared sauces further fueled the casserole craze.

Pizza:

• Pizza's history stretches back to antiquity, with flatbreads topped with various ingredients found in different cultures around the world.
• Modern pizza, as we know it with tomato sauce and cheese, emerged in Naples, Italy, some time between the 16th and 18th centuries.
• Pizza's popularity soared in the 20th century, particularly after World War II, when Allied troops stationed in Italy brought back a taste for the dish.

The Marriage of Pizza and Casserole:

• It's likely that pizza casserole emerged sometime in the mid-20th century, capitalizing on the popularity of both dishes.
• Home cooks, looking for creative ways to use leftover ingredients or recreate pizza flavors in a more convenient form, might have started combining elements of both.
• The beauty of pizza casserole lies in its versatility. It allows for customization with various types of pasta, sauces, cheeses, and toppings, making it a perfect dish for using up leftovers or catering to different preferences.

Clues to its Origin:

While there's no single inventor or specific date for pizza casserole's creation, here are some clues:

• The rise of convenience foods in the mid-20th century aligns with the popularity of casseroles.
• The post-war era saw a surge in Italian immigration to the US, potentially influencing the creation of new Italian-American dishes like pizza casserole.

Overall, pizza casserole is a testament to the enduring appeal of pizza and the convenience factor that casseroles offered in the mid-20th century. It's a delicious example of culinary creativity and continues to be a popular comfort food option today.

Homemade Pizza Dough And Sauce Recipe

Quote For The Day:

"Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself." - Bill Murray

Food For Thought:

Deer and babies

Have you tried venison before? I was born and raised in the Ozarks of Southwest Missouri. Here in Missouri, it is common to hunt and eat deer. It is a very sporting part of the country. We live close to Springfield, Missouri. The original Bass Pro is located in Springfield. If you get a chance to visit Springfield, you will enjoy the Bass Pro store.

The above picture was taken yesterday with my phone. I couldn't get a clear picture because the deer were far away. It was a doe and her two babies. They were in the city and in that area it is common to see deer often.

Some people have never tried venison. Those who have eaten deer meat either like it or don't. Venison has a gamey taste but is healthier than beef because it is lean. Deer eat acorn and wild vegetation and that caused the gamey flavor.

Would you be interested in venison recipes? I have some I can share with you. Please let me know in the comment section below. The most common way to cook venison in my area is to fry it in oil. I grew up watching my grandmother and mother batter and fry deer meat in a skillet on top of the stove. You can tenderize deer meat.

A Few Questions For You:

• Have you made completely homemade pizza before?
• What is your favorite pizza to eat?
• Do you like anchovies?
• When you buy cooked pizza, what is your favorite place to purchase pizza?
• Did you see my recipe from yesterday? It is called Fudge Bake Happiness Recipe. It would go well with pizza for dessert. Take a look and let me know what you think about it.

More Information For You:

Rumor has it that pizza comes from Italy. Farmers would cook pizza in outdoor wood-fired ovens. They topped their pizzas with cheese. Pizza dates back to the 18th century. The first pizza store opened in America in 1905 in New York City. Since then, pizza has gained popularity among Americans. To learn more history and facts about pizza, visit Pete's Brewhouse.

Thoughts On Homemade Pizza:

Homemade pizza tastes better than storebought pizza, and better than frozen pizza for sure. Homemade pizza gives me the opportunity to make it exactly how I want it. I can make the dough, add the amount of sauce I want, and put the toppings of my choice.

I have made pizza from the box and it was good but making homemade pizza from scratch has a different taste. It is more satisfying too because I know I made the whole pizzy myself. Kids love the making process of pizza and it gives them an opportunity to create a food that they normally see the pizza already made for them.

This recipe is categorized under Italian Food but it is very American. Most people in America love pizza and it works well for any fun occasion because it is easy to eat.

My Thoughts For The Day:

Texas Fajitas - (video below)

It was a good Mother's Day yesterday. We celebrated at El Patron Mexican Grill in Seymour, Missouri. We had Texas Fajitas with queso, corn chips, and guacamole that was made fresh. The Texas Fajitas included chicken, beef, and shrimp. The atmosphere was very nice and they had plenty of decorations inside. The outside of the restaurant had a small decorative water mill. It didn't have water in it but it was very nice to look at. The tree outside next to the entrance had beautiful flowers on it. I created a video of our visit to El Patron on my YouTube channel called El Patron Mexican Grill Seymour Missouri that you can see. Remember to subscribe, like, and leave a comment on my video. I would recommend this Mexican restaurant for you to try.

I love dining out and trying different places. I will leave reviews for you to see. If you have been to El Patron Mexican Grill please feel free to leave your review of the restaurant here.
