Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 can gluten free condensed tomato soup (or your own homemade substitute)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 cup chopped turkey pepperoni
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten free baking mix

For the tomato soup substitute:
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
