Deep Dish Pizza

Tonight I made a really quick and easy deep dish pizza. Usually, we order thin crust pizza. This crust turned out pretty thin, so we really it. You can flavor this however you want. I just happened to have ground beef on hand, so I used that. You could really do anything though.

I also used spices that I like (fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, Greek seasoning - which I put on just about everything), but feel free to use spices that you like or just whatever you have on hand. This is a good recipe to know though, because it took less than 10 minutes to assemble and it cooks in 13 minutes -- much faster than delivery, and it was really, really good!!!

Deep Dish Pizza:
1 lb ground beef
3 green onions, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar pizza sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning
Salt & Pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Cook beef with seasonings in a skillet until browned.
3. Unroll pizza dough, press into bottom and up the sides of a greased 13x9 casserole dish.
4. Pour pizza sauce on the dough.
5. Spoon meat mixture over sauce.
6. Top with chopped green onions and then top with cheese.
7. Bake for 13 minutes.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Homemade Pizza

We love pizza and Nashville has some really good places to get pizza. We've found that we love making our own "homemade" pizza. We can choose as many toppings as possible, it tastes great, and it's ready in under 10 minutes.


Kyle's Homemade Pizza:
2 thin crust pizza crusts
1 jar of Ragu Pizza Sauce
1 bag of shredded mozzerella cheese
1 package Canadian Bacon


Kyle added sliced green olives and herbed goat cheese. Jason added shredded pepper jack cheese and Italian herbs (we were out of bacon).

Just follow the baking directions on the pizza crust package. Most brands cook in 10 minutes or less. This is so much faster than ordering delivery pizza!! We love it!!
