Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Lean ground beef (85–90% lean) | 1 lb |
| Refrigerated pizza dough | 1 (13.8 oz) tube |
| Pizza sauce, divided | ¾ cup |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 1½ cups |
| Italian seasoning | 1 tsp |
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. In a skillet, brown the ground beef 6–8 minutes until no longer pink. Drain fat and stir in ¼ cup of pizza sauce. Let cool slightly.
Tip: Cooling prevents the hot beef from making the dough soggy.
Step 2: Prep the Dough
Roll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12×8-inch rectangle.
Step 3: Layer the Fillings
Spread the remaining ½ cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle with mozzarella, then add the beef mixture evenly on top.
Step 4: Roll and Slice
Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log, pinching the seam to seal. Slice into 8 pieces and place seam-side down. Reshape if needed.
Step 5: Bake
Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet cut-side up. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and bake 15–18 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve
Let rest 5 minutes for the cheese to set. Serve warm with extra sauce for dipping.
