On surface dusted with Bisquick, roll larger portion of dough into 16x12-inch rectangle. Place in dish. Press down on bottom and up sides of dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Cover with 3/4 cup of the pizza sauce. Add meat mixture and top with your favorite pizza toppings. Cover with 1 1/2 cups of the cheese.
