Upside Down Deep Dish Pizza

When I hosted Mom's Nite Out a couple months ago one of the sponsors, Unilever, sent me a box of goodies that included the Family Fun Book.

About a week ago I made a recipe from that book: the Upside-Down Deep Dish Pizza. It was really quick and easy to make; and inexpensive, averaging $3.44 per serving- less, actually, because the recipe says it is 4 servings but it easily fed my family plus our babysitter and left plenty of leftovers for two lunches the next day.

Another big plus: I put spinach in it and my girls didn't even bat an eye at the "green stuff".

Upside Down Deep Dish Pizza


* 1 lb. ground beef
* 1 jar (26 oz) Ragu® Old World Style® Sweet Tomato Basil Smooth Pasta Sauce (or the sauce of your choice)
* 1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped broccoli OR spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (optional)
* 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 8 oz.)
* 1 can (11 oz.) refrigerated pizza dough

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Brown ground beef in 12-inch nonstick skillet; drain and season, if desired, with salt and ground black pepper. Stir in Pasta Sauce and bring to a boil; turn into 2-quart baking dish.
2. Top with broccoli, then cheese. Place pizza dough over dish, sealing edges tightly.
3. Bake 20 minutes or until crust is golden. Let stand 10 minutes.
