Deep-Dish Taco Pizza - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground round
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
1 teaspoon Mexican seasoning (adjust to taste)
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough (or can use your own)
cooking spray
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese or 1 cup mozzarella cheese
salsa (optional)
sour cream (optional)
shredded lettuce (optional)
black olives (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0.
Cook beef, onion and minced garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until beef is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well, and return beef mixture to pan. Stir in tomatoes and seasoning; cook over medium-high heat 1 minute or until thoroughly heated; set aside.
Unroll pizza crust dough. Press into bottom and halfway up sides of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon beef mixture over pizza crust dough.
Bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. Top with cheese, and bake 5 minutes or until cheese melts and edges of crust are browned. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm. Top with salsa, sour cream, shredded lettuce and/or black olives, if desired.
