Sundays are crazy busy around my house, so Sunday night dinner is usually a quickie. This one’s great for weeknight dinners, too, of course. This recipe makes two pizzas, but you can halve the toppings to just make one. 

In a skillet, brown one pound of ground beef, crumbling finely. Drain and add one packet taco seasoning or 1/3 cup of bulk taco seasoning (I buy the bulk size, because it’s just great to have in the kitchen for adding kick to dishes) and about 1/4 cup water (the packet calls for 3/4 cup, but you don’t want your beef too wet for this, so reduce the amount of water considerably). Stir well.  

While preparing the beef, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spread half a can of refried beans on each of two prebaked pizza crusts (Boboli works great for these). Spread half the beef on each pizza. Drizzle with taco sauce. Top each with about a 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese. (I use the finely shredded - it melts better). Bake for about 10 mins.

Remove from oven and top each pizza with minced onions, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream and additional shredded cheese. (Feel free to add any of your favorite taco toppings, such as chopped green peppers, chopped jalapenos or anything you desire.)

I use pizza pans with holes for a nice crispy crust. 

Enjoy! This one’s a huge hit with the kids!
