1

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12x8- or 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
2

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef, bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned; drain. Add frozen corn, beans, tomato sauce, 1 cup of the barbecue sauce, the Worcestershire sauce and salt; reduce heat to medium. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Transfer mixture to baking dish.
3

Remove dough from can, and separate into 6 rounds (do not unroll dough). Cut each dough round into 6 pieces; arrange dough evenly on top of hot beef mixture.
4

Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until dough is baked through and deep golden brown. Top with cheese; bake 2 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce before serving.

Expert Tips

When cutting dough rounds into 6 pieces, some piece sizes will vary. Just make sure to evenly place dough pieces on top of the beef mixture for best results during baking.
Barbecue sauce varies in sweetness and spiciness, so feel free to use your favorite!
Try swapping pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese for the cheddar cheese!
Top with chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley before serving, if desired.
