Marilyn Matasovic


List of Ingredients




Combine with a fork:

1 lb. ground beef

1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs

1/4 cup beef broth (bouillon is okay)

1 onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. fennel seed

1/4 tsp. pepper


Recipe



Press mixture into 9 inch pie or cake tin to form shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Drain off all fat from cooking. Spread 3/4 cup drained and chopped Italian plum canned tomatoes with 1/2 teaspoon crushed dry red pepper over beef crust. Grate 1/2 pound Mozzarella cheese (more if you love cheese) over the tomato mixture.

Sprinkle the following on top of the Mozzarella:

3 Tblsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. fresh basil

1 tsp. parsley

1 tsp. oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Bake 15 minutes more.

Serves 4.

"I prefer this gourmet version to the standard "crust" pizza and it is not as heavy on the calories."
