LOW-FAT DEEP DISH PIZZA CASSEROLE



Low-Fat Deep Dish Pizza Casserole image

Another one from my mom. Incredibly good, incredibly easy, reheats well...what more can you ask for? I'm not fond of chunky tomato sauce, so I just get plain and spice it up with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb lean ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can chunky Italian-style tomato sauce
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
6 slices mozzarella cheese, divided (It's much easier to just buy them this way at the store than try to get even slices)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Cook meat until brown and done. Drain, if necessary. Return to skillet.
  • Add tomato sauce and cook until heated.
  • Spray non-stick cooking spray into a 13x9x2 baking dish. Unroll pizza dough and press onto bottom and halfway up the sides of the dish.
  • Line bottom of crust with 3 slices mozzarella. Top with meat mixture.
  • Bake UNCOVERED for 12 minutes.
  • Top with remaining 3 slices and bake 5 more minutes or until crust is brown.
  • Cool for 5 minutes, then serve!

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the toppings.
  • To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, use a combination of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. The Parmesan cheese will help to absorb moisture.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short amount of time (15-20 minutes). This will help to prevent the crust from becoming dry and tough.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming stringy.

Conclusion:

This low-fat deep-dish pizza casserole is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect deep-dish pizza casserole that will be enjoyed by the whole family.
