Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Flatbread Squares

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Ground beef (80–90% lean) 1 pound
Large rectangular flatbreads (about 10 x 12 inches each) 2
Provolone cheese 8 slices
Neutral oil (canola or vegetable) 1 tablespoon

Step-By-Step Directions:

  1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Brown the beef: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.

  3. Assemble flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over top to the edges, pressing down gently so it stays in place.

  4. Top with cheese: Lay the provolone slices over the beef, overlapping them slightly to cover most of the surface.

  5. Bake until bubbly: Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp and the provolone is melted with bubbly brown spots. Tip: Broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes for extra color on top.

  6. Rest and serve: Let rest for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the cheese to set, then slice into squares with a pizza wheel and serve warm.
