Pizza Pronto Pot Pie

What would we have done if the Italians had never introduced us to pizza? This entree features the flavors of a traditional pizza but in a family pleasing main dish.

Serves 6

8 ounces extra lean ground turkey or beef
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup (one 8-ounce can) Hunt's Tomato Sauce
2 teaspoons JO's Pizza Seasoning

1/2 cup (one 2.5-ounce jar) sliced mushrooms, drained
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Kraft reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1 cup + 2 tablespoons Bisquick Reduced Fat Baking Mix
1/4 cup (3/4 ounce) grated Kraft fat-free Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup hot water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with olive oil-flavored cooking spray. In a large skillet sprayed with olive oil-flavored cooking spray, brown meat, onion, and green pepper. Stir in tomato sauce, JO's Pizza Seasoning, Splenda, and mushrooms. Bring mixture to a boil. Spread meat mixture into prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top. In a medium bowl, combine baking mix and Parmesan cheese. Add water. Mix well to combine.
