📋 Ingredients:

Base Layer:
🍞 1 lb ground beef
🧂 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
🍅 1/2 cup pizza sauce

Middle Layer:
🧀 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
🍕 1/2 cup mini pepperoni (or regular pepperoni, sliced)
🌶️ 1/4 cup diced green peppers (optional)

Top Layer:
🍞 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
🧀 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
🍕 Additional pepperoni slices for topping
🌿 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
🥄 1 teaspoon dried oregano

📝 Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat and prep:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Cook the beef base:

In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease. Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and pizza sauce. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes. Spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3️⃣ Add the cheesy middle:

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the beef mixture. Add mini pepperoni, and, if desired, diced green peppers for a veggie boost.
4️⃣ Top with pizza dough:

Roll out the pizza dough and place it over the cheese and pepperoni layer, tucking in the edges.
5️⃣ Finish with cheese and toppings:

Sprinkle the cheddar cheese, additional pepperoni slices, Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano over the top of the dough.
6️⃣ Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
7️⃣ Cool and serve:

Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
