Italian Beef Dip Pizza + a COUPON to make your own!!

Have you ever had an Italian Beef Dip sandwich? Oh so good!! I took the basic idea of that sandwich and created a pizza that is pretty tasty! Delicious, in fact. Now I know some of you may be asking yourself "where's the sauce?". I left the sauce off because an Italian Beef Dip doesn't have any. But...you are certainly welcome to toss on the sauce if you want and it would still be wonderful! The Italian seasoning packet gives the ground beef a really yummy flavor and the little peppers gives it some kick. Just an all around GOOD pizza!!

Italian Beef Dip Pizza



1 Mama Mary's Pizza Crust
1 pound ground beef
1 envelope Italian salad dressing
1 cup beef broth
1 cup Pepperoncini peppers
12 slices Provolone cheese (or 2 cups grated)
1 cup pizza sauce (optional)

Brush pizza crust with olive oil and place 6 slices of cheese on the crust. Add pizza sauce, if using. Set aside.

In a skillet, brown the ground beef.

Add the broth and the Italian seasoning packet and stir to combine.

Allow meat to simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes on medium-low to reduce liquid.

Remove meat from pan and spread on top of pizza crust.

Top with remaining cheese.

Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes until crust is golden brown and cheese has melted.

Allow pizza to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
