Weight Watchers Pizza Burger Pie
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef (93% lean or better for lower fat)
1/2 cup no-sugar-added pizza sauce (look for a low-calorie option)
1 Weight Watchers-friendly pie crust (store-bought or homemade with a reduced-calorie recipe; aim for about 80-100 calories per serving)

Season Beef: Stir in the no-sugar-added pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef. Set aside.
Prepare Crust: Roll out the Weight Watchers-friendly pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges. If using a homemade crust, follow specific instructions for baking.
