Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ¾ cup pizza sauce (divided)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • ½ green bell pepper (finely chopped)
  • ¼ yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1½ cups mozzarella (shredded)
  • 8 slices pepperoni
  • 3 olives (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, for serving)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375° F.

In a large bowl, combine beef, ¼ cup pizza sauce, bread crumbs, egg, half the bell pepper, onion, garlic and oregano. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Press meat mixture into an 8 inch round pan. Set aside.

Let cool slightly, garnish with parsley and serve.
