A not so helpful guide on how to make Upside-Down Pizza Casserole (WITH PICTURES)


Today I will teach you how to make Upside-Down Pizza Casserole.  WITH PICTURES!
I'm just now getting into the habit of trying to cook for myself and have realized I kept making the same 3 things (usually ramen, pizza, potatoes). 
Never really cared for cooking (although I will bake all day), so I've always been content with "eat, full, good."
Lately, I was wanting FOOD.  But realized I honestly don't know any recipes.  So what is the best course of action?
THE INTERNET!
Last week I made squash casserole for the first time, and LOVED IT!!!
Tonight I found this Recipe, and gave it a whirl.
First, you'll gather your stuff to go in this thing.



 In my case, I went with the very basic recipe I found online (although I did want to get olives and mushrooms to mix in, I decided to try it this way to see how it turned out first).
you got you a 2 cup size bag of mozerella
2lbs of lean beef
A can of biscuits
sauce.
Now, the original recipe called for a '10 oz size' can of biscuits but my Wal-Mart's grocery section got laid upon by human locusts today out of nowhere, so there was not much in the way of biscuits left.  So I just got a 12.5 oz can of Texas style biscuits (DO IT! THEY ARE DELICIOUS)
It also says only use 1 1/4 cup of the cheese, 1 1/2 lb of meat, and a 15 oz can of 'italian flavored' tomato sauce (mine is 24 oz can of whatever flavor Prego I wanted)...
Thing is, I'm not going to save half a lb of beef...so I cooked it with it, then just upped the rest to fit.
Step two is realizing you never finished washing your dishes, and you need both of those pans.



Step three:  Start drinking.

Step four:  Preheat that oven to 400 degrees, baby!

Step five: realize how nasty your stove is.

Step six:  drink a little bit more.

Step seven: clean stove top quickly.


Steph eight: realize you have a 1.5QT dish and a 3QT but not a 2 QT dish like you need.

 Start questioning why you wanted to start cooking for yourself again?


Step nine: MEAT!  We need to brown this animal muscles all up!!!


Step ten: drain that shiz


Step eleven: put that back into a warm pan for the next step which iiiiissss

Step twelve: dump your sauce in the pan on the meat.

Don't worry, we're just putting it in long enough to stir together.

See?

Now Step thirteen, dump into your dish.
Step fourteen: I found some left over Parmesean cheese from the squash casserole...DUMP THAT ON THERE!

Step fifteen:  Toss all that Mozerella on that and spread it out.

Step sixteen is just so horrible, you get a video...open the can of biscuits.. D:




After you regrain your strength, get over the ego bruising hit, and change your underwear, move on to step seventeen, which is take the biscuits out of the can and flatten them with your hands one by one, and lay them on top of the cheese.


TA DA!

Now toss that shit into the oven!


Instructions originally said cook for 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.

After 15 minutes, this is what I had.

After 25 minutes, ths is what I had. 

Let cool.

During this cooling time, a random woman will show up and start sniffing your biscuits because they "smell so good"



And how did it turn out?




AWWYIISSH SO FUCKIN DELICIOUS!!!
