Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 450. Lightly coat a 10" deep dish pizza pan with olive oil.

2. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble in the ground beef and sausage with the Italian seasoning and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until meat is no longer pin. Set aside.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to form a circle slightly larger than the pan. Place dough in the prepared pan, pressing excess dough to the sides.

4. Layer 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, reserved meat mixture, pepper and sauce onto dough. Bake at 450 for 15 minutes. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

5. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 slices, then remove with pie server or spatula.
