Instructions
Creating Sloppy Joe Pizza is straightforward and rewarding. Follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cook the Meat Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Stir occasionally to break it into small pieces.
3. Add Vegetables: Once the meat is fully cooked, add the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
4. Mix in Sloppy Joe Sauce: Add the Sloppy Joe sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Prepare the Pizza Crust: Roll out the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring an even thickness.
6. Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the Sloppy Joe mixture over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the Sloppy Joe mixture, covering it generously.
8. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top if desired, adding a pop of color and flavor.
