Deep Dish Pizza Casserole

Rating 5 from 1 reviews

You'll be amazed by how easy this pizza casserole is. Serve it with a big tossed salad, and you've got a winning homemade pizza dish that works for lunch, for weeknight dinners and company dinners, too. You can add pepperoni on top to make this a meat-lover's pizza casserole.

Ingredients

1 pound ground round or your favorite pizza meat topping
1 (15-ounce) can chunky Italian-style tomato sauce
1 (10-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
6 (1-ounce) slices mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Cook meat in a nonstick medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain, if necessary, and return to skillet. Add tomato sauce, and cook until heated.
Meanwhile, unroll pizza dough, and press into bottom and halfway up sides of a lightly greased 9 "x 13" baking dish (see Notes). Line bottom of pizza crust with 3 slices mozzarella cheese. Top with meat mixture.
Bake, uncovered, for 12 minutes. Top with remaining 3 cheese slices, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 5 more minutes, or until crust is browned and cheese melts. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Make sure to push the pizza crust up the sides of your baking dish so the delicious pizza filling will bubble up inside the crispy crust.
