- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3-4 slices of Velveeta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- In a skillet, brown the lean hamburger, Italian sausage, green pepper, onion, and garlic until the meat is fully cooked. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Crust:
- While the meat mixture is cooking, spread, pat, or roll your pizza crust onto a greased jelly roll pan, pressing the dough up the sides to create an edge.
-
Prebake the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prebake the crust for 7-10 minutes, or until it just begins to color.
-
Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the desired amount of pasta sauce evenly over the hot crust. Add the cooked meat mixture, spreading it evenly across the sauce.
-
Add Cheese:
- Arrange the sliced Velveeta cheese over the meat mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch between slices. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza.
-
Bake:
- Bake the pizza at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the top layer of cheese is melted and begins to brown.
-
Rest and Serve:
- Allow the pizza to cool for about 5 minutes before cutting it into 12 squares. This resting time helps the flavors meld together and makes it easier to handle.
