How to Make Baked Pizza Sandwich
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage) over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite tomato sauce and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- While the meat simmers, prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 (13.8 oz) package pizza dough mix, 1 large egg, and 1 cup milk. Mix until just combined.
- Set aside 3/4 cup of the dough mixture.
- Grease a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Pour the remaining dough mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Spread the remaining 1/2 cup tomato sauce over the dough.
- Layer 4 slices of mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz) over the sauce, followed by the meat mixture, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and the remaining cheese.
- Spoon the reserved dough mixture over the top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
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!
