Ingredients

  • 1 tube Thin Pizza Crust Dough, 11 ounces
  • 2 pounds Ground Beef, 80/20
  • Kosher Salt
  • 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning
  • 1 can Refried Beans, 16 ounces
  • 1 bag Mexican Shredded Cheese, 8 ounces
  • Toppings; shredded iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, jalapenos, hot sauce, taco sauce, avacado or guacomole

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle Kosher salt in bottom of skillet and break ground beef into pan. Cook and crumble until no red remains in beef. Drain excess fat and discard. Sprinkle taco seasoning on beef, and add about 1/4 cup of water to pan. Mix well, and cook until the beef absorbs water.
  • While beef is cooking, spread crust into bottom of a sheet pan. Par-bake for 5 to 6 minutes, until lightly browned and slightly crisp.
  • Mash up refried beans and warm up briefly in microwave for about a minute. Spread beans on top of par-baked pizza crust.
  • Spread cooked beef on top of refried beans. Cover with cheese.
  • Return pizza to oven and cook for an additional 6 or 7 minutes until crust is brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Cut into individual pieces and add your favorite toppings.
