Verdict:
TOUCHDOWN!!!   This one wins!   A great company pleaser, even the kids love this one (though I did find a few stray mushrooms left on the plate).   My kids call this recipe "Pizza Pie".   Hey, whatever works for getting them to eat their dinner!  Great to fix for watching all the great college ball tomorrow on New Year's Day or a great one to make next month for the big Super Bowl Game!
