Golden, thick-crusted pizza gets a double-meaty topping with beef and pepperoni. Leftovers make a satisfying late night snack.

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add beef, salt, pepper, onion and bell pepper to skillet. Cook, stirring, until beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes; drain fat. Remove skillet from heat: set aside.

2. Press dough into a greased 8- inch deep-dish pie pan. Trim excess dough; flute edges.

3. Spread tomato sauce over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle beef mixture evenly over sauce. Arrange pepperoni slices evenly over top.

4. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over pepperoni. Bake pizza until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
