Ingredients
1 pound premade pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch deep dish or cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Roll out the premade pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Carefully press the dough into the skillet, pushing it up the sides to form a deep crust.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the ground beef, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Spread the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheeses evenly over the dough in the skillet.
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the cheese layer.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes with sugar, oregano, garlic powder, and salt to make the sauce.
Pour the tomato sauce over the beef and cheese layers, spreading gently with a spoon.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
