What’s your favorite kind of pizza? Well mine is without a doubt taco pizza. I love pizzas that have loads and loads of toppings and taco fits that bill. When I came across this recipe from Sweetie Petitti for Happy Joe’s Taco Pizza I knew I had to give it a try. When I was young my family went to Happy Joe’s most Friday nights and I always ate their taco pizza, so even the thought of it gives me warm fuzzies. When I actually tried this recipe it didn’t disappoint, with its delectable double cheese, smooth refried beans, flavorful meat, and wonderful fresh toppings…I was transported to my childhood! To save a little time, I used refrigerator pizza crust, but you can use any crust recipe you like. So let’s get started making this yummy treat, it will be a new weeknight favorite for your family. Here are the ingredients that you will need:
Start by browning the one pound of hamburger and 1/4 cup of chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder in a pan until it is no longer pink.
Then while the meat is browning remove the Pillsbury refrigerator crust from the package and spreading it out on a greased cookie sheet.
Now prebake the crust for 8 minutes in a 400 degree oven if you are using a greased dark or nonstick cookie sheet or 425 degrees if it is a different pan type.
Now that your crust is prebaked you can mix up the sauce, mix 1/2 cup of refried beans, 1/4 of a cup of taco sauce and 1/2 of a cup of pizza sauce. Then spread this mixture over the pizza crust.
Top with 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
Then add ground beef.
Now top with 2 cups of Colby Jack Cheese.
Now bake the pizza for 8-10 minutes.
Now you can top the pizza with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and crushed Taco Doritos.
Now you can serve the pizza with extra taco sauce and sour cream.
