Exact Ingredients List
Here’s what you’ll need to make this tasty Sloppy Joe Pizza:
- 3/4 pound ground beef
- Salt and pepper (for seasoning)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 can (10 3/4 oz) Campbell’s Condensed Tomato Soup
- 1 pre-made or store-bought pizza crust (12-inch)
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
Make sure you have these items on hand before you start cooking. The ground beef is the star of this dish, so pick a good quality one.
The Worcestershire sauce adds a nice tangy flavor, while the tomato soup creates a rich sauce. Don’t forget to season your beef well with salt and pepper!
For the cheese, you can use pre-shredded Mozzarella or shred your own. Fresh Mozzarella works great too if you want to get fancy.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F. This hot temperature will help crisp up the pizza crust.
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Brown it in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often to break it up.
Drain excess fat from the beef. Add tomato soup and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until everything is hot and well-mixed.
Spread this beefy mixture over your pizza crust. Leave a small border around the edge for a nice crust.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese all over the top. The cheese will melt and get gooey in the oven.
Pop your pizza in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Keep an eye on it – you want the cheese melted and bubbly.
Once done, take it out and let it cool for a minute. Slice into 8 pieces and dig in!
This easy recipe combines two favorites – sloppy joes and pizza. It’s a fun twist that kids and adults alike will enjoy.
