Description
Garbage bread is a delicious dish filled with seasoned ground beef, bell peppers, and gooey cheese, all wrapped in golden pizza dough, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly to prevent sticking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if needed. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika, ketchup, and barbecue sauce. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (approximately 12×15 inches). Spread the slightly cooled beef mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the filling. Starting at a long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Tuck in the ends and pinch the seams to seal. Place the log seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the top of the rolled dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked. Let the bread cool for 5-10 minutes to set before slicing.
- Slice the bread into 1-inch pieces and serve warm. Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness if desired.
