Philly Cheesesteak Pizzas

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 Italian frying pepper, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound shaved or very thinly sliced beef
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 whole-wheat pocketless pitas or prebaked individual-size pizza crusts
2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend, or a mix of shredded mozzarella, provolone and parmesan
1/2 cup pickled sliced sweet or hot cherry peppers

Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and frying pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, 1 more minute.

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil. Place the pitas on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle each with 1/4 cup cheese. Top evenly with the beef mixture and the remaining 1 cup cheese.

Broil the pizzas until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Top with the cherry peppers and cut each pizza into quarters.

FROZEN MAMAS:
Bag 1: Onions, peppers, garlic
Bag 2: Steak strips
Bag 3: Cheese
Bag 4: Pitas
Tub 1: Cherry peppers
You could probably get away with making this straight from the freezer.  Sautee veggies and steak, then divide between pitas, top with cheese, and cherry peppers if desired, then broil.

Pizza wraps

• pizza sauce
• shredded cheese
• pepperoni
• tortilla

DIRECTIONS:

1. Spoon sauce onto a tortilla.
2. Add cheese and toppings.
3. Fold like a burrito.
4. Place on cookie sheet.
5. Repeat steps to make as many wraps as you'd like
6. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until hot inside.

This Meal is for the Kids!! :)

I froze after folding them, so you will need to bake them, and sprinkle them with cheese if you desire. put in over 350 with cheese sprinkled over them to cook after thawed. (although I am sure you can do it longer from frozen state!)

Calzones

Dough - makes 4-5 calzones

• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (105-115 degrees F)
• 2 1/4 teasponns (a 1/4 -ounce envelope) active dry yeast
• a pinch of sugar
• about 3 cups unbleached flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Pour the water into a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast and sugar over it. Let the mixture stand until it becomes slightly foamy, then stir it until the yeast dissolves. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and the oil to the flour and stir until a soft dough forms.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Dust your hands with flour and knead the dough. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky to handle, but not so much that it becomes stiff and dry. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and springs back when pinched, about 10 minutes.
3. Lightly oil the inside of a large bowl. Place the dough i the bowl and turn it over once so that the top and bottom will be coated with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it in a warm place until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
4. Flatten the dough with your fist. Cut it into 4-5 balls and roll out.

Filling

• Place a small amount of the sauce on half of the dough
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and/or other desired toppings on same half
• Fold dough over and crimp edges with fork
• Place calzone on a greased cookie sheet. You may also sprinkle cornmeal on the sheet to prevent sticking.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes
• Heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan and use for dipping

To thaw dough, remove from bag and separate into individual pieces. You may need to spray oil onto the wax paper or parchment paper to keep it from sticking? The dough was frozen raw and is not cooked. Good luck! =)
