Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz pkg Carando Mozzarella Rustica Italian Style Meatballs
  • 1 pkg refrigerated thin crust pizza dough
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese - shredded
  • 1 tbsp butter - melted
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce + additional for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 375º F. Place meatballs on aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes; gently turn meatballs over and bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. When cooled slightly, cut the meatballs in half.
  • Preheat oven to 400º F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Unroll the pizza dough on the parchment and stretch to a 9"x13" rectangle. Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut the dough in half lengthwise, creating two long rectangles.
  • Gently move and shape the dough to create a ring.
  • Sprinkle the cheese down the middle of the dough and add the meatball halves over the cheese, spacing evenly. Spoon the sauce over the meatballs.
  • Stretch and pull both sides of dough up and between each meatball; press together to seal.
  • Add the Italian seasoning to the melted butter and brush over the dough.
  • Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, until golden. Serve with additional marinara sauce.
