Deep Dish Pizza Casserole

I originally got this recipe from Emily Bites. I made some changes to the recipe to fit my tastes, and it turned out delicious!



Ingredients:
10 oz 96% lean ground beef
6 oz Bob Evans Italian Sausage (tube)
15 oz can tomato sauce
Oregano to taste
Onion Powder to taste
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes to taste
Cooking Spray
10 oz can refrigerated pizza crust dough
2 cups Kraft 2% shredded mozzarella

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425° F.
2. Cook meat (seasoned with oregano, onion powder & crushed red pepper flakes to taste) in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring until it crumbles. Add tomato sauce and cook until heated.
3. While meat cooks, coat a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Unroll pizza crust dough and press into bottom and halfway up the sides of baking dish. Sprinkle half the cheese over the bottom of the crust. Top with meat mixture.
4. Bake uncovered in the oven at 425° for 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining cheese. Put casserole back in the oven for 5 additional minutes or until crust is browned and cheese is melted. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

    1. It's really, really good! Randy and I both like it a lot! You can change the toppings to whatever you want, of course. This is just my favorite way to make it! In fact, I might make it later this week!
