Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in lowest position. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion and carrots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add beef, and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce; bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until meat mixture has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk flour, Parmesan, baking powder, rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; make a well in center, and add butter and milk. Stir just until dough comes together.
• Spoon meat mixture into four 8-ounce ramekins; mound dough on top. Place on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake until topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in topping comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix the salt into the shredded zucchini. Let sit for 15 minutes then drain thoroughly.
• Mix the zucchini and olive oil into the beef, and then shape the beef into a flat circle in a greased 9" pie pan. (Leave a little room between the edge of the pan and the beef, so any extra fat can drain there).
• Sprinkle the mozzarella over the beef, then top the mozzarella in layers with first the tomatos, then the mushrooms or olives if you are using them,then the herbs,then the parmesan. I sometimes use extra dried herbs and parmesan, because I like them (a lot!).
• Bake the dish in a 350 degree oven for appx 40 minutes, or till beef is cooked through and parmesan is slightly browned.
• Slice into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Sauteé the chopped celery in butter for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from pan, set aside.
• Brown the hamburger and drain off the fat. In a bowl stir in the croutons, Parmesan cheese and the beaten egg.
• Spread this mixture over the bottom of a buttered 9 inch pie pan.
• Mix the ground beef, garlic, onion, oregano, catsup, salt and pepper. (Please Note! You can use your favorite spaghetti sauce instead of catsup if you prefer). Place this mixture on top of the crust in the pie pan.
• Bake in oven for 30 minutes at 350°F
• Remove from the oven and turn up the temperature to 400°F
• Cover the pie with the sliced mozzarella cheese slices and bake for 5 minutes until cheese is bubbling or melted.
