A delicious cheesy pizza loaded with ground beef, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- ketchup for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
- Add Ingredients: Add ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir in chopped bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble Pizza: Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough. Layer the cooked beef mixture on top.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Finish: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Optionally, drizzle ketchup on top before serving.
Notes
- Customize Toppings: Feel free to add mushrooms, olives, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Dough Thickness: Adjust the dough thickness to your liking—thicker for a more filling pizza, thinner for a crispier crust.
- Cheese Blend: Try using different cheese blends for variety, such as adding Gouda or Parmesan.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
