  3. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef with 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), and 1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes until beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease and return to skillet.

  7. Pour the beef mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Unroll one 12-14 inch pizza crust and place it over the cheese layer.
  9. Brush the pizza crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
