8 oz Pizza sauce

Toppings of your choice (mushroom, sliced and pitted ripe olives, green bell pepper, etc.)

Separate crescent dough into triangles; place in skillet, points toward center, to form circle. Press edges together to form bottom crust about 1 inch up the side of pan. Spread on half of pizza sauce. Spoon ground beef mixture over sauce. Cover with toppings. Pour remaining sauce over all; sprinkle with cheese. Place pan in center of grill over medium coals.

Cold Spaghetti Salad

1 lb (16oz.) Box of Spagetti No.8

1 Bottle of McCormicks Salad Supreme Seasoning

1 Red (or green) Pepper, diced

1 or 2 Medium size Tomatoes, diced

1 Bottle of Italian dressing (your choice)

Very easy to make and it's very good at room temperature. Plus there is no need to worry about it "spoiling" in the heat. There is no dairy. ENJOY!!!
