Directions

1

1. Lightly butter sides and bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Evenly sift bake mix onto sides and bottom of pan; set aside.

2

2. Cook spinach according to package directions. Transfer to a strainer. With a spoon, press spinach firmly against sides to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside.

3. Heat oven to 375°F. Heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot. Crumble in ground beef and sausage. Cook until meat is browned, about 10 to 12 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Transfer to a colander to drain off any fat. Heat oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add scallions, mushrooms and garlic. Cook until scallions and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in browned meat. Add strained tomatoes, 1 cup of the mozzarella and the Italian seasoning, stirring until well combined. Transfer mixture to prepared springform pan, spreading into an even layer with the back of a spoon. Press firmly into pan.

4. In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg. Add spinach, remaining 1 cup of the mozzarella, the 1/4 cup of the roasted red pepper and the pepper; stir until well combined. Spread over beef mixture, pressing down firmly. Arrange remaining roasted red pepper strips in center; sprinkle Parmesan over top. Place springform pan on a large baking sheet with a rim.

5

5. Bake until Parmesan is lightly browned and tart is heated all the way through, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes on baking sheet. Run a sharp knife around sides of tart, release the sides of the springform pan and transfer tart to a serving platter. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.
