Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F. Roll the 1 lb pizza dough into a large oval, about 1/4-inch thick, on a floured surface.

  2. Step 2

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the 1/2 lb ground beef until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the 1/2 cup tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with the cooked beef and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form a boat shape, pinching the ends. Brush the crust with 1 tbsp olive oil.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Top with 2 chopped green onions and serve hot.
