Effort:  easy

Comments:  I originally got this recipe from foodguy.  Made some changes to spice it up some and hopefully lower the fat content a little.  It’s absolutely fantastic.

Return beef to skillet and add Velveeta. Stir over low heat until cheese is completely melted.

Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes.

Unroll pizza dough onto baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.

Pat into 15x8 rectangle. Top evenly with meat mixture.

Rearrange so that the seam is on the bottom.

COMMENTS:  You could use the Mexican Velveeta cheese if you can’t find the pepper jack Velveeta cheese.  Or as the original recipe called for, just plain Velveeta cheese.

 

COMMENTS:  Did you know that Velveeta has 1/3 less fat & calories than chedder cheese.

 

Velveeta has 6 g of fat and 80 calories/serving. 

Cheddar has 9 g. fat and 120 calories/serving

Thanks for the review CK, I nabbed this recipe thinking it was something the grands would love and your changes sound even better.

 We really liked it, alot.

 

I'm going to make this the way foodguy's recipe reads first so I know what it's supposed to taste like.  Then I will tweak it  if I feel it needs it.

Thanks Foodguy  Think this is going to be a popular try for a lot of us.

I made this and it is GREAT GREAT GREAT! DH loved it, kids loved it.

Based on CK's suggestion of dried minced onion, I added or changed the following:

--2 T. dried minced onion (instead of her 1 T) subbed for the fresh onion, and cooked with the meat

--added 1/4 tsp. garlic powder to the meat

--used sharp shredded cheddar instead of Velveeta (this worked great)

--used already cooked bacon

--rolled out the pizza dough into a 12x-14-inch rectangle (did this based on another poster;s comment that she felt the roll was sometimes doughy inside...thought a thinner sheet would bake better.

All changes were excellent! This is a really tasty little bacon cheeseburger thing, and we sliced it and dipped the slices in ketchup and mustard, for lunch.

YUMMO! Thank you Foodguy for posting originally, and for CK for taking it a step further, and for everyone's comments. 

 

I knew this one was going to be a great one. I almost ran right out to buy the ingredients for this it sounded so good. I'll be going to the store tomorrow for the ingredients. I like your tweaks too Ck. Thank-you both!

This looks great!  Thank you foodguy and candykisses.

 The only thing I may do differently is use the refrigerated French Loaf made by Pillsbury (right next to the pizza crust.)  I use it for all my stromboli recipes, and this looks similar.

 This would be great to have for one of the big football games coming up!  Thanks again.

Thank you CK! This looks so good, and I like spicy so with all respect due to FG, I will try your version very soon.
