Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 14 ½ oz diced tomatoes with onions, drained
  • ½ tablespoon oregano leaves crushed
  • 1 cup italian parmigiano reggiano cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • 1 13 oz package refrigerated pizza dough

Instructions 

  • 1. Heat oven to 400°F. Brown ground beef with bell pepper in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is not pink, breaking beef up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Pour off drippings. Stir in tomatoes and oregano; continue cooking 5 to 7 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Set aside.
  • 2. Sprinkle cornmeal evenly over rimmed baking sheet. Unroll pizza dough lengthwise on baking sheet, straightening edges of dough if necessary. Spoon beef filling over long half of dough, leaving 1-inch border on 3 sides. Gently lift and pull top half of dough over filling to enclose; pinch dough edges to seal.
  • 3. Bake in 400°F oven 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into 8 slices.
  • Cook's Tip: For easy cleanup, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle with cornmeal and proceed as directed above.
