Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 pound pork sausage, crumbled
  • 1 cup chopped pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
  • 1 (26-ounce) jar tomato basil pasta sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese


Instructions:

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and crumbled pork sausage over medium heat until browned and thoroughly cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Add the chopped pepperoni, 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, and flour to the skillet. Stir to combine everything well, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour the tomato basil pasta sauce into the meat mixture and stir until well blended. Let it simmer for a few minutes before removing it from heat.
  5. Spread half of the meat and sauce mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the meat layer.
  6. Roll out the pizza crust dough and cut it into strips or pieces. Layer these pieces over the cheese and meat mixture.
  7. Pour the remaining meat and sauce mixture on top of the dough layer. Add the rest of the shredded mozzarella cheese, along with the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning.
  8. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the casserole. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing.


ENJOY!!
