German Pizza
This week’s recipe comes from the kitchen of Mrs. Ervin Lambright. German Pizza is one of those dishes that often appear in Amish homes because it is filling, easy to make, and uses ingredients most families already have on hand. It is the kind of meal that works well on busy evenings when there are chores to finish and children to feed before the daylight fades. Mrs. Lambright first wrote this recipe down after making it for a gathering where she needed something that would stretch and still feel comforting. The combination of potatoes, eggs, and seasoned beef creates a simple base that cooks together in one skillet, and the melted cheese on top brings it all together. It is a dish that feels familiar even if you have never made it, and many Amish families enjoy it year-round.
