Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces lean ground beef or lamb
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 8-ounce can Muir Glen® tomato sauce
1 teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 6-inch whole wheat pita bread rounds
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded fresh spinach
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese (1 ounce)
12 pitted kalamata or ripe olives, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium nonstick skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until meat is browned; drain off fat. Stir tomato sauce and rosemary into meat mixture in skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
