A friend gave me this simple recipe to me at my wedding shower. My husband loves these little handheld pizzas. —Laronda Warrick, Parker, Kansas

Ingredients

1/2 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat, breaking beef into crumbles until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, bring tomato sauce and Italian seasoning to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir 1/2 cup into the meat mixture; keep remaining sauce warm.
Unroll pizza crust onto a floured surface. Roll into a 12-in. square; cut into quarters. Spread cream cheese over each to within 1/2 in. of edges. Top with meat mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, mushrooms and olives.
Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle; press edges with a fork to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 400° until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce.
