Greg's Taco Pizza

Ingredients

• 0.5 pounds ground beef
• 1 package taco seasoning , 1.25 ounce
• 1 package prepared pizza dough , 10 ounce
• 1 cup fat-free refried beans
• 0.25 cups salsa
• 4 ounces tomato paste
• 0.25 cups water
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 small onion , chopped
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2. 2

   Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, and sprinkle on half the package of taco seasoning. Cook and stir the beef until browned and crumbly, about 8 minutes; discard excess grease.

3. 3

   Spread the pizza dough out onto a 12-inch round pan, forming a rim of slightly thickened dough around the edge. Mix together the refried beans with salsa in a bowl; spread evenly over the crust. Mix tomato paste, water, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and the remaining half of the taco seasoning mix together in a bowl, and spread the sauce over the refried beans mixture. Top with the cooked beef, sprinkle the onions over the pizza, and evenly spread the cheese on top.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is cooked through and the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
