Double-Meat Personal Pizzas (Original Post 8/2/11)

This is a recipe that I got from the Pillsbury website. It looks like a fun Friday night dinner. I am looking forward to making this and as usual, you could use any of your favorite pizza toppings for this.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound lean (at least 80%) ground beef

1 can (13.8 ounce) Pillsbury refrigerated classic pizza crust

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves, if desired

1/2 package (3 1/2 ounce size) sliced pepperoni

2 TBS. grated Parmesan cheese

1 1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)

Directions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Lightly spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Unroll dough on work surface. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces; place on cookie sheet. Press out each piece of dough to form 6x5 inch rectangle. With fingers, create slight rim on edge of each dough rectangle. Bake 8 minutes.

Spread about 2 tablespoons pizza sauce just to rim of each crust; sprinkle with oregano. Top with pepperoni, beef, and cheeses.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes until cheese in center is melted.

I am a huge fan of pizza and I am always looking for ways of making it quickly without having to buy frozen pizza. This is a good thing for sleepovers, so everyone can have what they like too.
