Ingredients
- 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
- 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 count yellow onion
- 1 count green bell pepper
- 2 count roma tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp aleppo pepper or paprika
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Steps
- Heat the oven to 475°F. Brown the beef with the diced onion and pepper in 1 tbsp of the oil, 7 minutes, until the beef reaches 160°F. Drain any fat. Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, Aleppo pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; cook 3 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 pieces and stretch each into a long oval about 10 inches by 5 inches on metal sheet pans greased with the remaining 1 tbsp oil.
- Spread the beef down the middle, sprinkle with mozzarella, and fold the long edges in, pinching the ends into points to make boat shapes.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until the crust is deep golden.
- Top with parsley and cut into strips. Kids like these like pizza boats.
- Make ahead: cook the beef filling up to 2 days ahead and keep it covered in the fridge, then fill and bake.
- Picky eaters can have a plain cheese boat with the beef on the side.
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
