Pepperoni Pizza Layer Cake


 

Ingredients

For the Pizza Layers:

2 pre-made pizza crusts (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup pepperoni slices
1 cup cooked ground beef (seasoned with salt and pepper)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Topping:

Extra mozzarella cheese for melting
Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven according to the instructions for the pizza crust.

Step 2: Prepare the Ground Beef

In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza Layers

In a large glass baking dish, lay one pizza crust as the base.
Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Add half of the cooked ground beef and a layer of pepperoni slices.
Repeat the layers with the second pizza crust, adding the remaining sauce, cheese, ground beef, and pepperoni.

Step 4: Bake the Pizza Layer Cake

Place the assembled pizza layer cake in the oven and bake according to the crust instructions (usually about 15-20 minutes) or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

Step 5: Add Extra Cheese

Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese on top.
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Step 6: Serve

Let the pizza layer cake cool for a few minutes.
Slice into pieces, making sure to show the layers, and serve warm.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color.

Presentation Tips

Serve the pizza layer cake in the glass dish for a beautiful presentation.
Highlight the melted mozzarella on each slice and capture a photo to showcase its rich, layered look.
