Upside-Down Deep Dish Pizza

This was with an ad for Ragu that I found in a magazine. Turned out yummy!

1 jar Ragu Pasta Sauce (or whatever kind you like)
1 package (10 oz) frozen, chopped broccoli, thawed
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 can (11oz) refrigerated pizza dough (I made my own)

1. Brown ground beef in skillet; drain. Season with slat and pepper. Stir in Ragu, bring to boil. Turn into 2 quart baking dish. (I didn't have broccoli so I stirred in a bunch of fresh spinach to wilt.)

2. Top with the broccoli, then cheese. Press dough over dish, sealing edges.

3. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until crust is golden. Let stand 10 minutes.

Menu Ideas

While I'm at it... here's my menu for the rest of the week.

Marinaded grilled Mahi Mahi with Asparagus

BBQ Chicken, buttered noodles, fresh veggies with ranch

BLTs, tater tots, green beans

Chicken Alfredo, side salad

Roast Beef Sandwich Roll

I got this recipes off allrecipes.com. Andrea saw it stuck on my fridge and said if we liked it I should post it. Well... we liked it so here it is.

2 (1lb) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed

3/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper (I always get bags of frozen peppers in the frozen veggie section. It's more convenient and much cheaper than getting peppers fresh.)

1/2 cup red onion

1 tsp. garlic salt

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

8 oz thinly sliced deli roast beef, julienned (I used about 1 1/4 cup diced leftover roast beef)

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 egg white

1 T. water

Combine loaves of dough and shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peppers, onion, garlic salt and Italian seasoning. Cover and microwave one minute or until veggies are tender.

Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll into a 15x12 inch rectangle. Combine the beef, cheese and pepper mixture; spread over the dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with the long edge; pinch seams and ends to seal. Place seam side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.

In a small bowl, beat egg white and water; brush over dough. Cut a slit with a sharp knife in top of dough. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
