Servings: 4 -6 servings
Ingredients
- Pre-made pizza dough for a 12-inch pizza (I used half of a recipe of my homemade pizza and frozen the other half for another day)
- ¾ pound lean ground beef (I used 90/10)
- ½ cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup refried beans
- ⅔ cup salsa
- 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese
Toppings
- Quartered cherry tomatoes
- Shredded lettuce
- Sliced olives
- Sour cream or ranch dressing
- Salsa/taco sauce/hot sauce (optional)
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Crushed Fritos or tortilla chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475℉ (246℃). If using a pizza stone, place the stone in the oven to heat up with the oven. If you’re using a normal baking sheet or metal pizza pan, line it with a piece of parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and onion and cook, breaking up the meat as you go. When the beef is about halfway cooked, add the water and all the dry seasonings. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked through and the water evaporates. Set aside.¾ pound lean ground beef, ½ cup chopped yellow onion, 2 Tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon onion powder, ⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
- In a small mixing bowl mix together the refried beans and salsa until combined.1 cup refried beans, ⅔ cup salsa
- Roll out your dough into a 12-inch circle. Place on the pizza stone or baking sheet and use a fork to pierce the dough several times. Bake in the oven for about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and quickly spread the refried beans mixture evenly over top. Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey jack cheese over top followed by the meat. Bake for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.Pre-made pizza dough for a 12-inch pizza, 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese

Notes
