Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 cup pepperoni slices
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

7. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, then roll and seal tightly to form a loaf.
8. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
9. Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with parsley or Italian seasoning if using.
10. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
11. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Serving Tip

Serve warm with extra pizza sauce or garlic dip on the side for a richer and more flavorful finish.

Why This Recipe Works

The combination of seasoned beef, crispy bacon, and melted cheese creates a rich, savory filling, while the dough bakes into a golden crust that holds everything together. It’s a perfect balance of texture and flavor in every slice.
