Pizza Topped Skillet Hamburger Pie, a delicious ground beef and veggie filling topped with a cheesy pinwheel pizza. The perfect any day of the week dinner recipe.
Pizza Topped Skillet Hamburger Pie
has become one of our favourite easy dinner meals, full of delicious veggies and a sprinkle of hot pepper flakes that gives it a little kick.
Sometimes I like to go back to my childhood in Canada and remake some of the good stuff that I loved when I was a kid.
One of my all time favourites was Sloppy Joe. I am the youngest of 4 girls, I was what you would call a surprise, my two oldest sisters are 12 and 10 1/2 years older than I am.

When I was about 8 my Mom decided to go back to work part-time and left my 7 years older than me sister in charge of feeding me and my Dad.
So what did we choose? Thursday night became Sloppy Joe and Whip and Chill dinner and dessert, yes every single Thursday! We loved it.
As it turned out, years later when we were all sitting around the table laughing and talking about “those days”, my sister and I started remembering our omg-didn’t-you-just-love-Thursday-night-dinner?

Well we did but our Dad did not! That wonderful man kept us happy for years eating our favourite dinner and dessert as he probably thought about my Mom’s cooking.
So every now and then I have this desire for a sloppy Sloppy Joe Burger.
I think it’s the comfort food time of the year that brings it on, I also get the urge for a delicious casserole or pot pie.

The Italian isn’t big on doughy toppings so I thought I could spruce up the ground beef with veggies, some tomato puree and remembering my Pizza Pinwheels I thought that would make an amazing topping.
But instead of using Parmesan cheese I would give it more of a Pizza topping and use a firm mozzarella. Yup it was really good and cheesy, and if you really like cheese, then just add some shredded before you add the pinwheels. Buon Appetito!
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 2 large potatoes chopped
- 1 cup peas
- 1/2 cup tomato puree
- 1/2 bouillon cube (vegetable)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- hot pepper flakes if desired
- 1 pre-made pizza dough
- 1 1/2 cups shredded firm mozzarella
In a 10 inch cast iron pan add olive oil, ground beef, garlic and onion, mix to combine, brown over medium heat then add carrots, potatoes, peas, bouillon cube, puree, spices and water.
Heat to boiling, then cover and simmer until vegetables are tender and liquid has evaporated, approximately 30-45 minutes ** (leave just a very small amount of liquid).
Pour into a lightly oiled medium size casserole dish, top with pizza pinwheels, brush them with a little olive oil and bake in a pre-heated 425° oven for approximately 15 minutes. Enjoy!
Roll out pizza crust, top with shredded mozzarella cheese and roll up from the short end. Thinly slice approximately 17 or 18 slices.
** If needed remove cover and raise the heat if the veggies are tender but there is still too much liquid.

This looks so tasty! I grew up in Canada as well, and remember similar dishes, although this is very unique with the pizza topping. I definitely need to give this a try. Pinning. Please do pop by my blog and share this wonderful recipe at the Hearth and Soul Link Party if you have time. Hope to ‘see’ you there!
