CHEESY HAMBURGER PIZZA 
Pizza Crust
Hamburger Pizza Sauce
1 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/3 c. grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. sliced pimento-stuffed olives

Prepare Pizza Crusts and Hamburger Pizza Sauce. Spread crusts with sauce. Top with cheeses and olives. Microwave (high setting) 1 pizza at a time 5 minutes. Makes 2 (9 inch) pizzas.

Pizza Crusts: Dissolve 1 teaspoon active dry yeast in 3 tablespoons lukewarm water (110 degrees in bowl). Stir in 1/4 cup warm milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 drops yellow food coloring and 1/2 cup sifted flour.

Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup sifted flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Turn out onto floured surface and knead until smooth. Place in greased bowl, turning over once to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Punch down dough and divide in half. Roll out each half to 10 inch circle. Brush 2 (9 inch) glass pie plates with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons crumbs. Fit dough into prepared pie plates. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs. Cover and let rise until doubled, 20 minutes.

Prick one crust several times with fork. Microwave (medium setting) 4 to 6 minutes, or until crust is dry, rotating plate 1/2 turn every 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining crust.

Hamburger Pizza Sauce: Crumble 1/2 pound ground chuck into 1 1/2 quart glass casserole. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 clove garlic (minced). Cover and microwave (high setting) 3 minutes, stirring once. Stir in 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Microwave 3 minutes.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
