So, I published this recipe previously, but this one is slightly different...and improved. I have omitted the brown sugar in favor of oregano as my sister suggested. I also have started serving it on top of pene pasta so I can call it Dinner instead of just being a snack. You could even make this a Supreme Pizza Casserole by adding mushrooms, olives, and green peppers!
