Ingredients:

Main dish:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
• 1 (8-ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 (8-ounce) bottle Parmesan peppercorn dressing, divided

Side dish:

• 1 (12-ounce) package classic salad mix
• 2 apples, chopped (preferably a sweet, crisp variety)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette

Instructions:

Main dish:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Cook ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until beef is browned and crumbly. Drain and return to skillet. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Unroll pizza dough on a large greased rimmed baking sheet and press into a large rectangle. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
4. Top with beef mixture, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing.
5. Starting at one long side, roll up dough, pinching ends to seal. Arrange, seam side down, on baking sheet. Cut slits in dough at 1-inch intervals.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining dressing for dipping.

Side dish:

1. Toss together all ingredients just before serving.

Tips:

• For a crispier crust, brush the top of the pizza roll with a little bit of milk or olive oil before baking.
• If you don't have Parmesan peppercorn dressing, you can use any other type of Italian dressing or vinaigrette.
• For a sweeter side dish, use honeycrisp or fuji apples. For a tartter side dish, use granny smith or gala apples.
• If you don't have balsamic vinaigrette, you can use any other type of vinaigrette or salad dressing.
