Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 lb. pre-sliced sweet peppers (about 1/2 inch wide strips)
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
2 tubes (10 oz. each) refrigerated pizza dough
1 jar (16 oz.) medium-hot salsa
3 c. shredded taco cheese blend
1 can (2.2 oz.) sliced black olives, drained (about 1/4 c.)
3 large scallions, trimmed and sliced

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add peppers, ground beef and garlic salt; cook, stirring to break up clumps of beef, until the peppers are soft and beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.  Drain off any excess fat from skillet.

Remove pizza dough from tubes.  Cut the dough crosswise into 1/2 inch wide slices, then cut each slice into quarters.

In a large bowl, toss together dough pieces and salsa.  Add cooked meat mixture, 2 c. of the cheese and olives.  Scrape mixture into baking dish.  Sprinkle the remaining 1 c. cheese blend over the top.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.  Sprinkle scallions evenly over the top.  Bake an additional 5 minutes.
