Ingredients

• 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
• 0.5 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 small (thinly sliced) Onion
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Green bell pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or a sheet of parchment paper if using a pizza stone.

Step 5

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 7

Distribute the cooked ground beef evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper on top of the ground beef.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the toppings.

Step 10

Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Ground Beef Pizza!
