My sister taught me this crispy savory trick for warm weekends and it uses just 4 ingredients for a fast and delicious bite.

These Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Flatbread Squares layer savory browned ground beef and melted provolone cheese over crisp flatbread crusts. Baked at high heat until the cheese is blistered and the edges are golden brown, these easy flatbreads slice cleanly into squares for a quick weeknight dinner or game-day appetizer.

Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Flatbread Squares
Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity
Ground beef (80–90% lean) 1 pound
Large rectangular flatbreads (about 10 x 12 inches each) 2
Provolone cheese 8 slices
Neutral oil (canola or vegetable) 1 tablespoon
Step-By-Step Directions:
Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Brown ground beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until fully browned. Spoon off any excess fat from the pan.

Assemble flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the surface, pressing it down lightly into the bread.

Top with cheese: Lay the provolone slices over the beef, overlapping them slightly to cover most of the surface.

Bake: Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the flatbread edges are golden and crisp, and the provolone is fully melted and bubbling with golden spots. (Optional: Broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end for extra color.)

Rest and slice: Allow the flatbreads to rest for 2 to 3 minutes to let the cheese set slightly, then slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm. change tetetx but no contex
