Beefy Deep Dish Pizza... actually a healthy recipe


Super Easy... Yummy... and Healthy Beefy Deep Dish Pizza!


just four simple ingredients
 you can add anything else you like.. I'm just showing how simple it is on it's own!


grease a 9x13 baking dish and spread pizza dough over the bottom of the dish and halfway up the side. bake in the oven at 425 for about 7 minutes


brown one pound of ground beef while the pizza dough is baking
the recipe doesn't call for it, but I always season meat with salt & pepper!


drain the meat, then add 1 1/2 cups of your favorite pasta sauce, mix, add to the pizza crust, top with mozzarella cheese. bake for 8 more minutes!
it's that easy!


 enjoy!

I didn't rinse the meat and put it out on paper towels.. just drained it. I used lean beef (97/3) and it usually doesn't have much fat. I have heard from a nutritionist that if you rinse beef that is 80/20 it's almost just as good for you as the 97/3.

Ingredients:

1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
1 pound ground beef
1 ½ cups jarred low-sodium, sugar free, spicy mushroom pasta sauce
1 ¼ cups (4 ounces) shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Unroll the pizza dough, press it over the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared dish, and bake for 7 minutes.

3 .While the crust bakes, sauté the beef in a large skillet until browned, breaking the meat up into small pieces using a wooden spoon.

4. Drain the meat in a colander, rinse with hot water, and shake the colander to drain out as much water as possible.

5. Turn out the meat onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet and roll up the meat in the towel to blot up any moisture.

6. Pour the meat into a bowl, add the sauce, and toss to mix.

7. Spread the meat over the crust and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake until the crust is browned and the cheese melts, about 8 minutes longer.
