What You'll Need

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion

4 individual frozen sandwich steaks (see Note)

1 cup pizza sauce, divided
1 1/2 cup frozen meatballs, cut in half and thawed in microwave according to package directions

What to Do

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and cook onion, salt and pepper 3 to 5 minutes, or until onion is tender. Place 2 steaks in skillet with onion and cook for 1 minute, turn over and cook for 1 more minute, or until browned, breaking apart into pieces with spatula. Repeat with remaining 2 steaks.
Meanwhile, unroll pizza dough and press into bottom and halfway up sides of the baking dish. Line bottom of pizza dough with 6 slices mozzarella cheese. Evenly spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce over cheese.
In a medium bowl, toss meatballs with remaining 1/2 cup pizza sauce. Spoon meatballs onto dough and top with steak mixture. Bake for 12 minutes. Top with remaining 6 slices mozzarella cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese is melted.

We used Steak-Eze brand sandwich steaks and Rosina meatballs in the Test Kitchen and they were fantastic!

This is a great idea. Pizza is my family's most favorite food, especially to my youngest son. I think this would be a big hit with my husband as well,since he has always loved those frozen Steak-ums, and he loves Philly cheese sandwiches. I already know I would have to leave off the onions, though.
