PIZZA PIE

1 pound lean ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

1 small green pepper, chopped

2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed

4 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided use

1 package slice pepperoni

1-4 ounce can sliced mushrooms

1-14 ounce can pizza sauce

 

In a skillet brown the ground beef, onion and green pepper.  Drain well.  Divide one loaf of bread dough in half.  Press over the bottom and up the sides of two greased 9-inch pie pans.  Sprinkle each pie with 1-1/2 cups of Mozzarella cheese.  Divide the beef mixture and spoon over the cheese.  Top with pepperoni and mushrooms.  Divide the remaining loaf of bread and roll into two 10-inch circles.  Cover each pie with the dough and crimp the edges to seal.  Spread half of the pizza sauce on each pie.  Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
