How to Make Baked Pizza Sandwich

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Set aside 3/4 cup of the dough mixture.
  6. Grease a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Pour the remaining dough mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  7. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup tomato sauce over the dough.
  8. 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.
  9. Spoon the reserved dough mixture over the top of the cheese.
  10. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  11. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
