Deep Dish Pizza Casserole

1 lb ground beef, extra lean

1 (15 oz) can chunky Italian style tomato sauce

cooking spray

1 (10 oz) can refrigerated pizza crust dough

1 1/2 cups (6oz) shredded 2% milk cheese (fat free if core)

 

Preheat oven to 425.  Cook meat in a skillet over medium high heat until browned, stirring until it crumbles.  Drain, if necessary and return to skillet.  Add tomato sauce and cook until heated.  While meat cooks, coat a 13 by 9" baking dish with cooking spray.  Unroll pizza crust and press into bottom and 1/2 way up sides of baking dish.  Top bottom of pizza with meat mixture.  Bake, uncovered for 12 minutes.  Top with cheese and bake 5 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese melts.  Cool 5 minutes before serving.
