Barbeque Pizza

Homemade pizza is always a good weeknight option. Take the dough out of the fridge when you get home and let it sit out a bit—it will make it stretch more easily. The salad on top lightens it up a bit. (adapted from Real Simple)

1/2 lb ground beef or turkey
3/4 cup barbeque sauce
fresh pizza dough
shredded cheddar cheese
lettuce
sliced tomatoes or chopped cherry tomatoes
sliced red onion, if you like it
olive oil for drizzling on top

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brown the meat, drain if needed, and stir in barbeque sauce.

Oil a large ovenproof skillet and press pizza dough into the bottom and up the sides. Spread the sauce mixture on the dough and top with cheese. Bake about 20-25 minutes.

Top the pizza with lettuce, tomato, onion and a little oil.

*You could easily cook the meat ahead if the week looks like a crazy one.
