Cheeseburger Pizza


Total Time: 40 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 25 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Level: Easy
 
 

Ingredients

  • One 16-ounce package refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into rings
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into rings
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 8 slices provolone
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Let the pizza dough rest according to package directions.

Press the dough into a 16-inch pizza pan or a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes.

In a large skillet, combine the bell peppers and onions. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Next, add the ground beef and cook until crumbly and brown. Remove from the heat and drain well.

Spread the mustard over the pizza crust. Top with the provolone, beef mixture and mozzarella. Sprinkle with the Montreal steak seasoning. Bake until the crust is browned and the cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.


***Above is how I found it from Paula Deen's website, but I am going to add more vegetables to make it a healthier version as well as choose whole wheat pizza dough. Vegetables I am adding are: Cooked Zucchini and Squash, Cooked Mushrooms and subtract the provolone cheese. Choose a low fat mozzarella cheese instead! Making smart choices you can still enjoy this awesome recipe!
