Deep-Dish Pizza Casserole

Talk about a recipe that even your husband will drool over!! I made this casserole the other night for dinner and it was amazing! Making 6 servings, at 6 points a piece, it is the perfect dinner size, and one serving is enough to make you (and any men in your life) nice and full!

Again, I apologize for the numerous steps. I'm a timid cooker, so breaking it down to every little step is so helpful to me!

Deep-Dish Pizza Casserole

Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can chunky Italian-style tomato sauce (I used Ragu tomato, garlic, and onion)
1 (10 ounce) tube refrigerated pizza crust dough
6 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. Cook the meat in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly. Drain and return to skillet.

3. Add tomato sauce, and cook until heated

4. Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

5. Unroll pizza crust dough, and press into bottom and halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

6. Line the pizza crust with 3 slices of mozzarella cheese (I cut them in half to cover more area)

7. Top with meat mixture, and bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes.

8. Top with remaining 3 cheese slices, and bake an additional 5 fimunes or until crust is brown and cheese melts.

9. Cool 5 minutes before serving
