C and I argued pretty hard about what to call these. When I served it, I announced, “It’s pizza stuffed summer squash!” and he rolled and rolled his eyes. He said this was not pizza. Because there’s ground beef. How does that make sense?

“You are lying to your blog readers,” he said. Nuh uh. It has marinara sauce and cheese. Isn’t that all you need for the pizza flavor? I know it’s been forever since I had a real pizza, but it’s my recipe and my blog so I do what I want. It’s my version of pizza, so I win.

You are probably like, “Great story, bro…” so let’s change the subject and talk about how cute these round summer squash are, amirighhh? This recipe will definitely work with other types of squash but you just can’t repeatedly say, “Ohemgee, I just can’t with these!” while your make them. And that’s just no fun.

You can use this recipe as a base for various toppings. Hate olives? Top with mushrooms and pepperoni. Make it a Hawaiian with ham and pineapple pieces. I love it because it’s easy to get creative and you can’t really mess it up!

    I definitely live by the “it’s my blog so I’ll do what I want” rule. 🙂
