Yummy! Mexican pizza!

Got this recipie off the internet, and it was a hit!  Very tasty!
Now of course, Craig 'modified' it, as he tends to do.   :-)
1/2 pound of lean ground beef.
1/2 can refried beans.
1 medium onion, diced.
4 9in flour tortillas.
1/2 cup salsa.
2 cups lite 3 cheese blend.
2 green onions, chopped.
2 roma tomatoes, diced.
1/4 cup black pitted olives.


Preheat oven to 350.
Place meat, and onion in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until beef is evenly browned. Drain off grease. Add taco seasoning.
Coat 2 pie plates with non-stick cooking spray.
Place one tortilla in each pie plate and cover with a layer of re-fried beans. Spread half of the seasoned meat mixture over each tortilla and cover with second tortilla.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Spread half of the salsa over the top tortillas. Top each with half of the cheese, tomatoes,green onions, and olives. Return to oven , bake until cheese is melted, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. slice each pizza into 4 pieces and serve.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Pizza

Here's a tasty twist to traditional pizza. It's called chicken cordon bleu pizza. And you use Alfredo sauce instead of pizza sauce, and ham and chicken nuggets instead of ground beef or peperoni.

The recipe, courtesy of Taste of Home magazine...........


1 tube refrigerated pizza crust.
1/2 cup Alfredo sauce.
1/4 tsp garlic salt.
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese.
1-1/2 cups cubed cooked ham.
10 breaded chicken nuggets thawed and cut into 1/2-in pieces.
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.

Now instead of refrigerated pizza crust, we used Boboli pizza crust. We're hooked on them now.

So spread the Alfredo sauce over the crust.

Sprinkle with salt and Swiss cheese.
top with ham and chicken.

and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over that.
Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

And this was some good food! Of course it doesn't substitute for regular pizza, but it's a tasty dish all on it's own!

Home made Pizza

Home made pizza.
Start out with store bought pizza dough. Make it to instructions and spread out on a pizza stone.


Spread store bought pizza sauce over dough, then mushrooms, meat, and finally mozzarella cheese. Bake at 425 until crust is golden brown.

What makes this a better pizza health wise, is he uses 4% fat ground beef, and 2% Mozzarella cheese. He also adds mushrooms. We like our pizza's fairly basic.

And of course for the best crust, you have to use a pizza stone.
