Pizza Skillet Bake

This pizza skillet bake is a great dish for a quick dinner, best made in a cast iron skillet. It tastes just like a pizza, and just like a pizza, it’s open to changes. Add some chopped pepperoni if you like. Or some fresh mozzarella. Yummy! Since the ‘crust’ is on top you don’t have to worry about your toppings keeping it from baking. It’s as easy as can be!

Pizza Skillet Bake

Wow, It’s Like Having Pizza!

The biscuits on top of the pizza skillet bake fluff up all soft and creamy, just like a thick-crust pizza! This is a really fun twist on a traditional deep-dish pizza.

Italian Herb Skillet Bread

Rhodes dinner rolls make for a great, easy accompaniment to any meal. This Italian herb skillet bread version kicks them up a bit by topping them with savory herbs. The bread is soft. It smells amazing while its baking. And the flavor is over-the-top fantastic. And there’s nothing easier to make, either!

Italian Herb Skillet Bread

The Perfect Rolls

You can substitute any seasonings you prefer on your Italian herb skillet bread. I found these rolls to be quite yummy with a honey-flavored BBQ rub too. If you don’t have an 8″ skillet, you can make these in a high-rimmed metal baking pan (such as a cake pan). Just make sure the roll dough balls are about 2″ apart. You have to give the rolls space to rise perfectly. Otherwise you won’t end up with perfect bread!

Also try my garlic Parmesan skillet bread and my rapid rolls, also made in the skillet.

Skillet Cornbread Pizza

This is my take on a great recipe for skillet cornbread pizza from Martha White. Sure, it’s not really a pizza, but it has the flavors of one. It’s a really fun twist on the ‘usual’ pizza. You can add pretty much the same ingredients you’d find on any pizza. Since there’s no sauce on top, just serve the slices with a little (warmed) pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Skillet Cornbread Pizza

A Fun Take On Pizza

You get a good little crunch off the cornbread if you let it get good and browned (not burned!) on the sides and bottom. I think these are rather fun to eat. And they’re mighty easy to make. Skillet cornbread pizza is a really tasty alternative to boring frozen pizza night!

Rodeo Breakfast Skillet

This is a hearty, easy-to-throw-together dish, perfect for breakfast or dinner. This isn’t what you make when you decide you want a light breakfast. No, you make this when you’ve got a day of hard work ahead. Putting up a new fence? You need a rodeo skillet breakfast. Re-planting shrubs? Yep, you guessed it. Time to make a rodeo skillet breakfast. No matter how hard the day ahead will be, this is the way to start it!

Rodeo Breakfast Skillet

Use Your Meat Of Choice

This rodeo breakfast skillet is also great made using breakfast sausage links instead of smoked sausage. You can also crumble sausage in instead. Or maybe add some bacon in too. It’s a very versatile recipe. If meat’s not your thing, leave it out!

Garlic Parmesan Skillet Bread

This garlic Parmesan skillet bread is a great way to make a big batch of tasty, savory bread for dinner. It looks cool and is just about as no-fuss as you can get. I cooked the bread in a cast iron skillet, which I think gives the bread a bit more of a crust on the bottom, but you can use a saute pan that is able to handle 350 F in the oven (most can).

Garlic Parmesan Skillet Bread

Change It Up. Or Don’t.

I can see making this using cheddar instead of Parmesan, and perhaps a little Cajun seasoning instead of Italian for something a little different. Don’t get me wrong, garlic Parmesan skillet bread is delicious as it is. It’s just fun sometimes to change things up a bit.

This bread is best made in a cast iron skillet.

This recipe was inspired by a recipe from The Plain Chicken.

Spicy Sausage Skillet

This spicy sausage skillet dinner disappeared around here really fast. It was really good, and really kicked up. It may not be the sexiest dish I’ve ever made, but it was one of the most flavorful ones. The sauce is spicy, creamy. The sausage is perfect. This is a great dish anytime, but it’s specially good on a cool fall or winter night!

Spicy Sausage Skillet

Flavor-Packed Simplicity

My wife asked me to make this spicy sausage skillet again before we were even done with the first serving. I made this in my cast iron skillet. You could use any good ole skillet, I just happen to like cooking in cast iron whenever I get thee chance. I have a small collection of Lodge skillets. Might as well use them and use them often, I say!
