Italian Burger Bake

I keep browned ground beef in 1 pound packages in the freezer, so this dish goes together very quickly on a busy night.

Filling:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
16 oz. tomato sauce
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Grated mozzarella

Dough:
2 cup flour
1 TBSP baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup oil (olive or canola)
1 egg
3/4 cup milk

Brown beef, onions, and garlic; drain. Add remaining filling ingredients and simmer while making dough.

Combine flour with other dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix lightly.

Pat 1/2 of dough into greased 8x8 pan. Top with some cheese. Pour filling on top and sprinkle on more cheese. Add the rest of the dough on top by spoonfuls and add a final sprinkling of cheese.

Bake at 400 F for 15 - 20 minutes or until light brown.
