- 1 cup ham pepperoni, bacon or combination of the three
- 4 ounces fresh or canned mushrooms sliced (optional)

- Pour pizza sauce and diced tomatoes over the meat and veggies. Stir in the oregano. Let simmer for five minutes.
- Prepare the pan by spreading olive oil on the bottom. When coated, sprinkle with garlic powder.
- Lay the pizza dough in pan so the length of the pizza dough goes across the width of the pan. This allows for half the dough to be hanging over the side. Sprinkle with one cup of the shredded mozzarella.
- On top of the dough put the meat and sauce mixture. Top with the remaining cup of shredded mozzarella.
- Fold the remaining half of the dough over the top of the meat mixture to seal the dough over the top.
