Ingredients
- 2 cans pizza dough - refrigerated
8 ounces Mozzarella cheese - shredded
2 cups ground beef (minced beef) - precooked
1 package pepperoni
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup Parmesan cheese - shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Take a large cooking sheet and open one pizza crust and make a big rectangle.
- Sprinkle garlic powder all over the crust, as little or as much as you like.
- Sprinkle a little Italian Seasoning on the crust (don’t overdo this, I like just to make sure there is a little dusting all over lightly).
- Spread the beef, half shredded mozzarella or a mix of cheeses on crust evenly, leave a slight edge of crust not covered
- Put as much or as little pepperoni on top of cheese as you want. I used the who package of minis on ours.
- Spread the rest of the mozzarella or mix on top of pepperoni
- Sprinkle a little more garlic on top of that and a tiny bit of Italian Seasoning.
- Open other crust and spread over all of that and pinch the edges of the two crusts together to make a big pocket.
- Brush crust with olive oil and sprinkle a little Italian Seasoning and then the grated parmesan on that.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown, then cut into small squares or any shape you like and enjoy.
