Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the beef until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Place the whole wheat pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 6

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the cooked beef over the cheese layer.

Step 9

Top the beef with sliced red onions, diced green bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining low-fat mozzarella cheese over the vegetables.

Step 11

Bake the pizza in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 13

Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm.
