As you can see in my photos, there is cheese over the top of everything. That's how I made it this time, but next time I will put all of the cheese under the toppings. It looks more like a pizza that way. Also, this starts out looking quite large when you press the meat into the pan, but it shrinks quite a bit. What I thought would make 6 servings, turned out to be closer to 4 servings. With all the meat and cheese, though, it is pretty filling. I might try using half Italian sausage and half ground beef sometime.
Here's what the whole pizza looks like:
