Quick & Easy Deep Dish Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 medium ground pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 jar (14 oz.) pizza sauce
10 slices Canadian bacon (about 6 oz.) coarsely chopped
2 pkgs. (6 1/2 oz. each) pizza crust mix
2 c. (8 oz.) shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
4 oz. sliced pepperoni

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  In a large skillet, cook beef, pepper and onion over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking up beef into crumbles; drain.  Stir in pizza sauce and Canadian bacon; remove from heat.

Prepare dough for pizza crust according to package directions.  Press dough to fit bottom and up 1 inch up sides of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.

Spoon meat sauce into crust.  Sprinkle with cheese; top with pepperoni.  Bake, covered, 25 minutes.  Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until crust and cheese are golden brown.  

Freeze option: Cool meat sauce before assembling pizza.  Securely cover and freeze unbaked pizza.  To use, bake frozen pizza, covered with foil, in a preheated 425 degree oven 25 minutes.  Uncover; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until golden brown and heated through.
