Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Whole wheat pizza dough
- 10 oz Lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Low sodium tomato sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Oregano, dried
- 1 tsp Basil, dried
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded, low sodium
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, low sodium
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the low sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Evenly distribute the cooked beef mixture over the sauce.
Top with sliced red bell peppers.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve.
