Recipe type: Main Dish

Ingredients

1.25 oz pkg taco seasoning mix
¾ cup water
1 lb ground beef (substitute for ground turkey if you prefer)
8 oz taco sauce (hot, medium or mild)
¾ cup tomatoes, diced
¼ cup green pepper, diced
2.25 oz can black olives, sliced
5 oz shredded cheese (whichever variety you prefer)
1 refrigerated pizza crust or homemade pizza crust (Pillsbury Classic Crust or Thin Crust is a great option for store bought)
Sour cream (to top-optional)
Lettuce, shredded (to top-optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium sauté pan brown meat over medium-high heat until no longer pink, drain and add taco seasoning mix and water, cook per package instructions.
Then lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish or baking pan and spread out dough in bottom of pan. Using a fork, pierce small holes throughout the crust and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove crust from oven and spread taco sauce on top of crust, then layer on taco meat, tomatoes, green peppers and black olives. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Crust should begin to turn a golden brown around edges.
When crust has browned, remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese! Return to oven and bake for 3-5 minutes or until cheese has melted!
Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream & lettuce. Serve and enjoy!
