1

Prep your ingredients

Start by gathering all the ingredients you'll need for your Sloppy Joe pizza. You'll need pizza dough, ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, garlic, tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, pepper, mozzarella cheese, and sliced pickles. Make sure everything is measured and ready to go!

2

Cook the ground beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease, then add the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender.

3

Make the Sloppy Joe sauce

To make the Sloppy Joe sauce, add the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the cooked ground beef and vegetables. Stir everything together until well combined. Let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

4

Preheat your oven

Now it's time to preheat your oven. Set it to 425°F (220°C) and make sure it has enough time to reach the desired temperature.

5

Roll out your pizza dough

Take your prepared pizza dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. You can make it thin and crispy or thick and fluffy - it's up to you! Place the rolled-out dough on a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.

6

Add the Sloppy Joe topping

Spread the Sloppy Joe sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust. Be generous with the sauce, but avoid going overboard to prevent a soggy crust. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

7

Bake it to perfection

Pop your Sloppy Joe pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent any burning!

8

Add the finishing touch

Once your pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. While it's cooling, add a fun and tangy twist by garnishing with sliced pickles on top. The pickles add a refreshing crunch and a burst of flavor that perfectly complements the Sloppy Joe sauce.

9
