Cattlemen’s Beef Board and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association combine two great ideas — cheesesteak sandwiches and pizza — in one great recipe.

“Cheesesteak” Pizza

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, sliced thin, separated into rings
1 small green or red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 16-ounce package thick prebaked pizza crust (12-inch)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Brown ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 6 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until beef is not pink and vegetables are crisp-tender, breaking beef up into small crumbles. Pour off drippings; season with salt and pepper.

Place pizza crust on baking sheet. Top with beef mixture, then cheese. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
