This patty melt pizza is simple to make, but takes a little bit of time. It's a great meal that everyone will love. Reduce the total time and buy pre-rolled pizza dough, if you wish.
15-16 oz. bakery pizza crust dough
3/4 lb. ground beef
1/2 t. seasoned salt
1/4 t. pepper
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/4 c. steak sauce
2 T. butter
1 t. caraway seeds
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/3 c. shredded Italian 6-cheese blend
1/3 c. Thousand Island dressing
7 thin slices reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese
flour, for hands
Remove dough from refrigerator; let stand 1 hour (DO NOT remove from bag until stand time completed).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a pizza pan if it isn't non-stick.
Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high for 2–3 minutes.; add ground beef, seasoned salt, and pepper; brown 5–7 minutes, stirring to crumble meat and until no pink remains. Stir steak sauce into meat; remove meat from pan.
Slice onions. Place butter in same saute pan; add onions, caraway seeds, and Worcestershire sauce; cook 8–10 minutes or until soft and well browned.
Flour hands lightly; pat dough evenly into pizza pan. (Or turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to desired thinness.)
Combine shredded cheese and dressing; spread over the crust. Arrange meat over dressing; spread onions over meat. Top with Cheddar cheese; return to oven; bake 18–20 minutes or until cheese melts.
Slice pizza and serve.
8 servings.
***You can also purchase pre-rolled pizza dough. There is no stand time or rolling required; just place dough in pan. For best results, pre-bake crust 10–12 minutes; add toppings; reduce final bake time to 7–10 more minutes.
