Veggie Pizza

IMG_1754

My former co-worker Melissa was FAMOUS for this veggie pizza. She would bring it in for most of our carry in’s at the office and it was gobbled up in minutes. Okay, it took us like an hour, but it is so good! I tested it out and it turns out it freezes well too. So she gave me permission to share with the rest of you. Enjoy!

    I really like the sound of this. Thank you very much to Melissa for allowing you to post this. Sounds so yummy.

    I have made this many, many times but never thought to freeze it! Sometimes I cheat and use Marzetti/store brand vegetable dip instead of mixing the cream cheese, mayo and dry dressing mix. It’s not as frugal, but can be close if you get it on sale.

    Grew up with this menu, but I’m with Carolyn saying I never thought to freeze it! You don’t know how many times my mom burned the crust on the day of an occasion because there was too much going on. She also added thawed frozen pees to hers also. Instead of the ranch packet, she just added dill weed to hers.

    Oh, and she always had finely diced onions too…
