Mushroom Beef and Onion Tart - Monthly Recipe Theme - Weekend Recipe

In these unexpected times I chose the perfect recipe item for the month - Non-traditional Pizza.

This month I will share recipes that are not your typical pizza of red sauce and cheese on dough, but rather, unusual toppings and unusual crusts and all that it means to be unique and yet pizza.  But no there will be no pineapple on pizza -- ever!

I wanted to start with a tart for Mother's Day.  It is quick, easy and takes only 30 minutes.  Anyone can make it and I recommend starting with refrigerated pizza dough, but if you want to make your own from scratch, try this recipe:  at Allrecipes.com for Easy Pizza Dough

Beef, Mushroom and Onion Tart

12 ounces of lean ground beef

1 8-oz, package of sliced mushrooms

1/2 a medium red onion, sliced in thin wedges

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 13.8 oz. package of refrigerated pizza dough or one batch of your own recipe)

3 oz. blue cheese crumbled

Fresh oregano or BYP Pizza Shaker Seasoning

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F in a 12 inch skillet cook, beef, mushrooms and onion over low heat about 8 minutes or until beef is browned and onion tender, stirring occasionally.  Drain off fat.  Stir in salt and pepper.

Meanwhile grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment. Unroll the pizza dough on baking sheet.  Roll or pat dough to a 15 by 12 inch rectangle.  Top the dough with the beef mixture, keeping filling with in 1 1/2 inches form all edges.  Fold over the edges over the filling, pleating as needed.  

Bake tart 15 minutes or until crust is golden.  Top with blue cheese, oregano and pizza seasoning,
