1 1/2 lb hamburger
1 small finely chopped onion and green pepper
2 garlic clove, minced
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tubes refrigerated pizza crust
Grated parmesan cheese
2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (4 oz) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 (2 1.4 oz) can sliced ripe olives, drained

Cook first 4 ingredients in a skillet until the meat is no longer pink; drain and set aside. In a saucepan, bring tomato sauce and seasoning to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir 1/2 into the meat mixture; keep remaining sauce warm.

Unroll crust onto a floured surface. Roll into a 12 inch square; cut into four squares. Spread cream cheese over each within 1/2 inch of the edges. Top with meat mixture. Sprinkle with remaining ingredients. Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle. Seal the edges. Bake on a baking sheet at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Serve with the reserved sauce. Makes 4

Variation: Use 4 (8 oz) French bread loaves cut in half lengthwise with the center scooped out (reserve bread for another use) Line the shell with the mozzarella cheese, the meat filling and more cheese on top. Wrap securely in foil. Bake for 6-10 minutes. Cut into smaller sandwiches.
