 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                       Pizza Crust -- prepared as
                       - directed
 12      ounces        Mozzarella cheese -- grated
    1/4  pound         Italian sausage -- browned
    1/4  pound         Ground beef -- browned
    1/4  cup           Onion -- chopped and sautéed
  2      ounces        Pepperoni slices
  1 1/2  cups          Marinara Sauce -- prepared as directed
  2      tablespoons   Parmesan cheese -- freshly grated
                       Salt -- to taste

To assemble:

Prepare Pizza Crust as directed. Spray pizza pan with non-stick
cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Gently stretch Pizza Crust to
fit pan, forming raised edge at lip. Sprinkle crust with grated
mozzarella cheese. Dot with browned sausage, ground beef, pepperoni
and chopped and sautéed onion. Gently spread Marinara Sauce to cover
cheese and toppings. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and salt to taste.

To freeze:

Flash freeze pizza in pan. When frozen, wrap in aluminum foil.

To prepare:

Do not thaw pizza. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake frozen pizza for
20 to 25 minutes, until crust is browned, sauce bubbles and cheese is
fully melted.

Serving Ideas: Green Salad

NOTES: This tried-and-true method preserves a fresh, crisp crust even
through the freezing process! The secret's in the cheese; when
applied to the crust before any toppings or sauce, the cheese seals
the crust against the moisture in the sauce. Do not thaw before
baking!
