Pop-Up Pizza

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided use
1 can (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 packet spaghetti seasoning mix
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, sliced
1 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef until no pink is remaining; drain.
2. Stir in onion, bell pepper, garlic, oregano and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Sauté until just softened, about 3 minutes.

6. In a mixing bowl combine milk, eggs and oil; beat for 1 minute. Add flour and remaining ½ teaspoon salt; beat for 2 minutes or until smooth.
7. Spoon dough over ground beef mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until puffed and brown.
