(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 3 cups packaged instant mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3/4 lb bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 6 oz can Italian-style tomato paste
  • 1/2 of a 1.5 oz package sloppy joe seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tbsp cornmeal

Directions

  1. For crust combine flour, potatoes, milk and butter; set aside.

  2. For filling, in a 12-inch skillet cook beef, sausage and onion until meat is no longer pink. Drain off fat. Stir in tomato sauce, paste and seasoning mix.

  3. Using floured fingers, press half of the dough into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 13×9×2-inch baking pan. Spread filling over crust; sprinkle with mozzarella. Between two large sheets of waxed paper, roll remaining crust to a 15×11 inch rectangle; remove top sheet and invert over filling. Remove paper. Trim edges as necessary. Turn edges of top crust under and seal to bottom crust. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Bake at 425 for about 35 minutes or until heated through and crust is golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
