Philly Cheese Steak Pizza

I was in the mood for homemade pizza last night and had found a few different recipes for cheese steak pizza so I decided to give it a try. (Just google Philly cheese steak pizza and there are a TON of options!)  I pulled a little bit from a bunch of different recipes to create ours and it was fantastic! 

Shopping List:
1 pizza crust (homemade/store bought/etc...)
1/2 cup tomato sauce (we used 6 cheese from a jar)
2 oz. cream cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Italian cheese (any kind)
1/2 lb. roast beef (from the deli)
1 medium onion
1 green pepper
2 Tbsp. butter
Dash Worcestershire
Parmesan cheese
Oregano

Directions:
-Prepare crust, if needed and heat oven to directed temperature for crust (ours was 450 for a pre-made crust). 
-Saute chopped onion and pepper in a pan with the butter until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.  Add a dash of Worcestershire at the end.
-In a small saucepan, heat the tomato sauce, cream cheese, and garlic until melted and combined. Spread thinly over crust.
-Top pizza with 1/2 of the cheese, chopped roast beef, peppers/onions, the rest of the cheese, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of oregano.
-Follow directions on crust to determine baking time. Ours was about 10-12 minutes.

Ready to eat!

This was a quick and simple pizza that was MUCH cheaper than ordering in!  Now I'm ready to start thinking of new ideas for pizza. Does anyone out there have any 'out of the norm' ideas? Let me know!

Happy Eating!
