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.
