 Step by Step Instructions

 STEP 1: 

I dropped some lean ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat.

I broke apart the ground beef.

 STEP 2: 

I added some diced onions to the skillet with the ground beef.

I stirred well and continued cooking until the ground beef was fully browned.

 STEP 3: 

I added some chopped garlic to the skillet.

I stirred well and continued cooking for a couple minutes.

 STEP 4: 

I added some marinara sauce, ricotta cheese and Italian seasoning to the skillet.

I stirred all the ingredients together until well combined and then set the skillet aside.

 STEP 5: 

I opened a package of Pillsbury pizza crust and unrolled the dough onto a silicone mat.

I used a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a 14 x 18-inch rectangle.

 STEP 6: 

I placed one fresh lasagna pasta sheet on top of the pizza dough at one end of the rectangle leaving about 2-inches of dough around 3 sides of the lasagna sheet.

 STEP 7: 

I spooned some of the meat sauce mixture over the lasagna sheet and spread it out evenly.

I sprinkled shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

 STEP 8: 

I placed another lasagna sheet on top and continued repeating the layers (pasta, meat sauce, shredded mozzarella) until I had a total of 5 sets of layers.

 STEP 9: 

I folded the pizza dough over the lasagna layers and pressed the dough together all around the edges to to seal it up.

I used a long spatula to carefully lift the pizza dough wrapped lasagna and transfer it to a parchment lined baking sheet.

 STEP 10: 

I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the lasagna until the pizza dough was nicely browned all around.

 STEP 11: 

I removed the baking sheet from the oven and brushed the pizza dough with melted garlic butter.

I sprinkled grated parmesan on top.

Then the lasagna stuffed pizza crust was ready to slice and serve!

The beefy, tomato-rich meat sauce brings all the hearty flavor you expect from a traditional lasagna.

Ricotta and mozzarella melt together for a creamy, cheesy center that’s just plain irresistible.

Easy enough for a weeknight, fancy enough for a dinner party—what more could you want?
