I guess I have been on a real "Pizza" kick this past week and did not even realize it.  First I made Mexican Pizza, then Pizza Waffles, we had take out pizza and then I needed something for a work potluck.  Most of the time it is not a good idea to try new recipes out on your coworkers, but I do it all the time.  It's a great way to see if it is truly a good recipe or not! This was simple to put together, it satisfied my pizza craving and was a hit!!

My grandmother was an avid canner.  Her pantry was always full of bottles or yummy goodness.  After I was married and would come to visit she would send me down there to get whatever I wanted.  I was a beautiful sight,  Each fall one of the things she canned was soup.  It was awesome, because you just needed what ever meat you wanted to put in it and then you dumped the jar in a pan added the meat and heated and voila...a quick, easy and delicious meal.  I came home the other night really wishing I had one of those bottles of soup.   I had been craving it for a few days and I guess I just needed some comfort food.  So I made my own.  It actually did not take very long.  It  turned out delicious and hit the spot!!  Brought back some great memories too!!

I absolutely love pizza so I couldn't wait to try out this pizza with a twist.  Well guess what it turned out so COOL!!  I was amazed and the kids loved them.  The only issue is I wished I would of stuffed them with just a little bit more filling.  My youngest said they were even good cold as she took one in her lunch the next day.
