Method

Meatballs Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Meatballs

    Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Tomato Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes to the skillet, along with sugar, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). In a large baking dish or pizza stone, spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly across the bottom.

  2. 6

    Layer the Meats and Cheese

    Distribute the cooked meatballs and pepperoni evenly over the sauce. Then sprinkle the mozzarella and provolone cheese evenly on top.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly browned.

Garnishing

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once out of the oven, remove the dish and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
