Once again it's another freezing cold day.  It may have reached about 20 degrees outside.  So once again for dinner I turned to one of my favorite dishes my mother made when I was a kid.  It is called Meat Pie Roma.  If you like spaghetti, then you should love this dish.  Again it is very simple to prepare.  The recipe is as follows:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 green bell peppers (diced)
• 1 pkg spaghetti sauce mix ( I use two)
• 1 (6oz) can tomato paste ( I use two)
• 3/4c of water ( I use 1 1/2c)
• 1/3c parmesan cheese
• 4c shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 pkg Pillsbury flaky biscuits

I make twice the amount of sauce, simply because in my family we like this dish a little more saucy.

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease an 8-inch pie plate, then line it with biscuits, pressing them together to cover both the bottom and up the sides of the plate.  Brown ground beef in frying pan; drain and set aside.
2) Cook green peppers until tender.  Then return the beef back into the pan with the green peppers, add spaghetti sauce mix, tomato paste and water.  Simmer for about 10 minutes.
3) Sprinkle 1/4 cup parmesan cheese over the biscuits, then pour 1/2 meat mixture over the biscuits, top with two cups of mozzarella.  Repeat layering one more time, ending with the remaining mozzarella cheese and little bit more parmesan cheese.
4) Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits and top of dish starts to form a nice brown color.
5) Let stand for about 10 minutes and cut just like you would a pie to serve.

Hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
