This is a great way to please the kids. Optional ingredients listed are those which small children often reject. Use the larger jelly roll pan for a thinner crust pizza if you wish.
To prepare pizza ahead, cook beef and shred and slice ingredients. Crust can be prepared ahead also but it will rise. Punch down to use.
Good served with leafy green salad and fresh food.
For Italian herbs, try oregano, marjoram, savory, basil, or sage – or a combination of these.
Makes 1 14-inch round pizza.
