Beefy Pizza Casserole

This recipe also gets credit where credit is due: Southern Living, Our 40 years of Our Best Cooking. If you want an easy, once dish meal, try this one out! it was great! Only thing I would add to this recipe when doing it is about 1TBS salt to the meat mixture and more cheese! And maybe mushrooms, if you are a mushroom fan :)

Ingredients:
2 lb. lean ground beaf
2 med. onions, chopped
1/2 c chopped green bell pepper
4tsp dried Italian seasoning, divided
1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 (26oz) jar tomato-and-basil pasta sauce (prego)
2 c (8oz) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 can refrigerated pizza crust dough (pillsbury)
1 TBS olive oil
2 TBS grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
1) Cook first 3 ingredients and 3tsp. Italian seasoning in a large skillet over med-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well, and return to skillet.
2) Add 1/4c flour, stirring until blended. Stir in pasta sauce. Bring mixture to a boil over med-high heat, stirring constantly. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese.
3 )Unroll pizza crust, and place on top of cheese. (Tuck edges into baking dish, if necessary.) Brush with olive oil, and sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1tsp. Italian seasoning.
4) Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
