Ingredients

  • 16- ounce ball of pizza dough*
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 cup tomato sauce or salsa
  • 2 cups shredded cheese mozzarella, Cheddar, or a mix
  • 8 ounces sliced black olives
  • Toppings: pico de Gallo, sour cream, avocado

Instructions

Prep:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Allow the pizza dough to come to room temperature on the counter for approximately 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450F if using a baking sheet or to 500F with a pizza stone inside. Refrigerated tubes of pizza dough usually state 350F*. If using that, follow the package time and temperature directions.
  3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef with the taco seasoning while breaking up the ground meat into small pieces.
Assemble the pizzas:
  1. Divide the pizza dough ball into two halves. Roll each half of the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can also roll out the entire dough and bake one large pizza on a large sheet pan. Personally, I prefer to divide the dough in half and bake two pizzas; I've found the edges get crisper, and the middles cook through better this way.
  2. If using tubes of dough, roll them out directly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  3. Spread half of the tomato sauce or thin salsa on the dough. Top with half of the cheese, cooked ground beef, and black olives. 
Bake:
  1. If using pizza dough on a baking sheet at 450F, bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
  2. Directly on a pizza stone at 500F, bake the pizzas for 7 to 9 minutes.
  3. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with pico de Gallo, sour cream, and sliced avocado. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough.

Notes

  • You can also use frozen cheese pizzas as the base and load it up with toppings. Those usually require baking at 425F for 20-22 minutes.
