Category: Pizza

2 packages (6-1/2 ounces each) pizza crust mix
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
1/4 to 1/2 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2/3 cup spaghetti sauce
1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni
6 ounces Canadian bacon, quartered
1/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Prepare pizza dough according to package directions. With floured hands, press dough onto a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Bake at 425 for 7-9 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine oil and 1 teaspoon garlic powder; brush over crust edges.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef with onion powder and remaining garlic powder until no longer pink; drain.

Spread spaghetti sauce over crust to within 1 in. of edges. Top with beef mixture, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, olives and cheese. Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Yield: 8 slices.
