Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. Step 2

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef with salt and pepper until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  3. Step 3

    Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel.

  4. Step 4

    Brush dough with olive oil, then spread tomato sauce evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle cooked meat over the sauce, then top with shredded mozzarella.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle oregano over the top. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

  7. Step 7

    Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
