Deep-Dish Pizza Casserole

This is the most amazing pizza I've ever had. It's absolutely incredible! My friend Cara sent it to me, believe me, you must try it! This is a 6 serving pizza, so the "slices" are really big, and each serving has a Points Plus value of 7.

Deep-Dish Pizza Casserole

• 1 pound of ground round (I used ground turkey)
• 1 (15 ounce) can chunky crushed tomatoes
• Cooking Spray
• 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
• 1.5 cups preshredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• Veggie Toppings (I use red pepper, onions, garlic, and mushrooms but you can use whatever.)
• Oregano (to taste)
• Basil (to taste)

Preheat Oven to 425 degrees

Cook meat in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring until it crumbles. Drain, if necessary. Remove from skillet.

Brown veggies

Return meat to skillet and add Oregano and Basil (to taste) and the can of chunky crushed tomatoes.

Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Unroll pizza crust dough, and press into bottom and halfway up sides of baking dish. Top with meat and veggie mixture.

Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. Top with cheese and bake 5 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese melts. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
