# Steps:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 190 degrees Celsius and allow it to fully preheat before baking.

In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef. Add chopped onions and diced bell peppers and cook until softened.
03 -
Incorporate marinara sauce and garlic powder into the skillet mixture. Let it simmer gently for 10 minutes.
04 -
Roll out pizza dough to fit a pie dish, pressing it gently along the sides to shape the crust.
05 -
Pour the meat and vegetable mixture into the dough-lined dish. Evenly distribute shredded mozzarella and optional pepperoni slices on top. Fold the dough edges over the filling as desired.
06 -
Place the assembled dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.

Allow the dish to cool slightly before slicing and serving to ensure flavors settle and to prevent burns.
# Notes:

For best texture, do not skip rolling and resting the dough; rushing this step may result in a tough crust.
