History and Origin of the Baked Pizza Sandwich

The baked pizza sandwich is a delicious fusion between two very popular dishes: the sandwich and the pizza. Its origin dates back to homemade creativity in different regions where the goal was to combine the practicality of a sandwich with the intense flavors of a traditional pizza. This dish became especially popular in the United States and Mexico, where culinary culture tends to mix recipes to create new gastronomic experiences.

In Latin America, this recipe can be found under different names depending on the country. In Mexico, it is often called "pizza sandwich," while in Argentina it might be known as "pizzero sandwich." In other countries like Colombia or Peru, it is simply referred to as "baked sandwich with a pizza touch." Although its name varies, the essence of the dish remains the same: a baked sandwich with the characteristic flavors of a pizza.

This dish is ideal for family gatherings or as a simple option for a quick meal, as it combines familiar ingredients in an innovative way. Its preparation in the oven gives it a crispy texture and a melted flavor reminiscent of a pizza but in a sandwich format.

How to Prepare Baked Pizza Sandwich

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cook and stir the meat in a large skillet until browned.

Drain the excess fat.

Add half of the tomato sauce and the oregano leaves to the meat mixture.

Heat until it boils, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

While the meat mixture is simmering, mix the baking mix, egg, and milk.

Measure 3/4 cup of the mixture and set it aside.

Spread the remaining mixture into a greased 9 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.

Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the mixture, spreading it evenly.

Layer 4 slices of cheese, the meat mixture, the mushrooms, and the remaining cheese over the mixture and tomato sauce.

Serve with spoonfuls of the reserved mixture over the cheese.

Sprinkle the top of the mixture with grated Parmesan cheese and bake, uncovered, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

Let it cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
