My 8-year old son says this is his favorite homemade meal ever! Easy and filling.
1 loaf frozen white or wheat bread dough, thawed
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 – 14-oz. can of tomato sauce
1 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
¼ cup brown sugar (makes the tomato sauce taste like ketchup)
2 cups shredded Cheddar or Colby cheese
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced into thin wheels
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brown ground beef or turkey and break it into crumbles. Coat your pizza pan with olive oil on the bottom and sides.
Bring pizza dough to room temperature. Give it a good stretch and then flatten it out to match the shape of your pan. The larger the pan, the thinner your crust will be. If it isn’t stretching well, wait 15 minutes and then try again. The dough will rise a little and be stretchier.
Whisk the brown sugar into the tomato sauce. Set aside.
When the dough is in the pan, spread the tomato mixture evenly over the dough. Top with the browned meat, the cheese and then the tomatoes. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges of the crust are browned.
