Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 0.5 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 small (thinly sliced) Onion
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Green bell pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Remove from heat and set aside.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or a sheet of parchment paper if using a pizza stone.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Distribute the cooked ground beef evenly over the cheese layer.
Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper on top of the ground beef.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the toppings.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and 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 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Ground Beef Pizza!
