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:

  • Use a non-stick skillet or baking dish to prevent the pizza casserole from sticking.
  • If you don't have a deep dish pizza pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish instead.
  • To make the casserole even more cheesy, add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese to the top before baking.
  • If you want a crispy crust, bake the casserole for a few minutes longer, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Serve the pizza casserole with your favorite toppings, such as extra sauce, cheese, pepperoni, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Low-fat deep dish pizza casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will enjoy. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. With its simple ingredients and customizable toppings, this casserole is sure to be a hit. So next time you're craving pizza, try this healthier version that won't weigh you down.
