Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Frozen or canned corn, drained
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir in the corn and remove the skillet from the heat.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your preferred thickness and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Spread the Sloppy Joe mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top of the Sloppy Joe mixture.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 3–5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
