- 12 meatballs (1/2 ounce each) fully cooked

- 2 tbsp butter cubed and melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 4 oz Mozzarella Cheese shredded

Instructions
- Heat oven to 450°F.
- Warm pizza sauce and meatballs in a large saucepan over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally.
- Roll out and stretch pizza dough on a lightly floured cutting board to a 17 x 12-inch rectangle. Cut short sides of dough to angle inward, creating a football shape. Cut dough scraps into thin strips for football laces; set aside.
- Transfer pizza dough to a greased 15 x 10-inch baking pan; let excess dough hang over edges of pan. Place string cheese to within 1 inch of edges. Fold dough over cheese; press to seal.
- Whisk butter and garlic powder in a small bowl; brush over dough and football laces.
- Spoon pizza sauce and meatballs over dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella and asiago. Top with green pepper and onion. Arrange reserved football laces on pizza.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.
