Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough and press it onto a pizza pan.

2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the taco seasoning mix. Do not add water. Drain the beef and set it aside to cool.

3. Prepare the Bean Sauce: Melt the bacon grease in a pan and add refried beans, cumin, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until warmed through, adding water as needed to make it spreadable.

4. Assemble the Pizza:

   • Spread the refried bean mixture evenly over the pizza dough.

   • Top with the seasoned ground beef.

   • Sprinkle about 1/3 of the shredded cheese over the beef and beans.

5. Bake: Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the toppings are hot.

6. Add Fresh Toppings: Remove from the oven and immediately cut the pizza into slices, leaving the slices in the pan.

7. Top It Off: Sprinkle shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onions, and the remaining cheese evenly over the pizza.

8. Serve & Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Taco Pizza

• Bacon Grease for Flavor: Using bacon grease instead of butter or lard enhances the taste of the refried beans.

• Customize Your Toppings: Add sliced jalapeños, black olives, or sour cream for extra flavor.

• Crispier Crust: For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for 5 minutes before adding the toppings.
