Preparation
In a casserole on medium heat, cook ground beef thoroughly.
In a smaller casserole on medium heat, cook red pepper in water and chili sauce for 5 minutes or until tender. Purée in order to obtain a smooth sauce.
Meanwhile, dice zucchini, eggplant, onion and mushrooms. Add to beef and cook 4-5 minutes.
Incorporate red pepper sauce, tomato paste and basil. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400oF (200oC).
On a work surface, sprinkle a bit of cornmeal or flour, then roll out the pizza dough using a rolling pin. Dough must be large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a skillet roughly 12˝ (30 cm) in diameter and 1˝ (2.5 cm) deep.
Place dough in skillet and fill with beef-vegetable mixture.
Top with Cheddar, fold in any dough exceeding skillet edge, and bake 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake another 5 minutes. Serve with a spinach salad.
