How to Make Amy S Upside Down Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground chuck, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 24 oz jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce.
  4. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the meat sauce evenly.
  5. Sprinkle half of 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  6. Spread the remaining meat sauce over the cheese layer.
  7. Top with the remaining 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Unroll 1 can (8 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and place over the cheese, pinching the seams together to form a sealed crust.
  9. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
