Taco Pizza

Taco Pizza

1 lb - 1.5lb hamburger

1/8 cup sugar

1 pkg Taco Seasoning

1 Small Can Refried Beans

1 Jar Medium Salsa

1 Pkg Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1 Pkgs Shredded Lettuce

1 small can Black Olives

1 Tub Sour Cream

1 Tube Refrigerated Pizza Crust

Start by preheating your oven according to the directions on the crust package. Next brown your hamburger, drain the grease and add the taco seasoning/water according to the directions on the seasoning packet. Add the sugar at this time as well. I find adding sugar gives it a little something and it's really good.  Now, with any other pizza you would add your topping and then bake it all at once. But because there's a lot more to this pizza I want the crust a little thick so it's more sturdy. So I bake the crust by itself for about 5 minutes. After the five minutes pull out the crust and now we can apply our toppings.

Spread an even coat of the refried beans, it usually only takes about half of the can.

Next spread and even coating of salsa on top of the beans. Again it shouldn't take the whole jar maybe only 1/4 -1/2 of it. Next, spread your taco meat over top of the salsa. Sprinkle with a generous handful of cheddar cheese. Now put back into the oven and bake for another 8-14 minutes. Pay close attention to the crust, don't let it burn. Once everything is heated through and the crust is done pull it out of the oven. Now the next part is up to you. You can either place all the lettuce, more shredded cheese, sour cream and olives on the entire pizza or just do it slice by slice. I like to just add the toppings as I'm eating it, so that I'm able to reheat the pizza later without worrying about the lettuce getting soggy. But if you're making it for alot of people you'll probably be okay to assemble all of it because there wont be a need to reheat it. ENJOY!
