Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a large baking sheet or pizza stone with a light layer of non-stick spray or parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is softened.
Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired thickness. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
Optional: In a small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture around the edges of the pizza dough for a flavorful crust.
Spread the sloppy joe mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top. If using, add the diced green bell pepper as well.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
