Ground Beef Pizza
This is my kind of favorite pizza. I have not tried this one but it is almost the same as the one I did without any recipe. This is from the issue of November 2005, Coup de Pouce. ETA: I made it on July 24, 2011. I used 1 lb of lean ground beef and a store-bought dough. I made this pizza sauce: recipe#460241. I added chopped red bell pepper. DH said 10 stars and he didn't know it was my recipe.
