A delightful twist on traditional pizza, this upside-down bake is sure to please.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the meat is browned and the onion is softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the marinara sauce.
Use a spoon to remove excess fat for a healthier dish.
Spread half of the meat sauce mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Top with half of the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
Spread the sauce evenly for consistent layers.
Add the remaining meat sauce mixture, followed by the rest of the cheeses.
Press gently to compact the layers.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and place it over the top, pinching the seams to form a crust.
Stretch the dough slightly to cover the entire dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Check the crust after 20 minutes to avoid over-browning.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy upside-down pizza bake!
Allowing the dish to cool slightly helps the layers set for easier serving.
