Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Pre-made pizza dough
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Optional: Sliced black olives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the pizza. Add the sliced bell pepper, red onion, and any optional toppings, like black olives.
Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Quick and Easy Beef Pizza!
