Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook Ground Beef:
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning mix and prepare according to the package instructions.
- Prepare Crust:
- Unroll the crescent rolls and place them in an ungreased 11 1/2 inch x 16 1/2 inch jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Press the dough over the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.
- Layering:
- Microwave the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Carefully spread the beans over the warm crust to create a thin layer.
- Top the beans with the cooked beef mixture, then sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Add the chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, and green onions on top.
- Final Bake:
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 3-6 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted.
- Serving:
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the Taco Pizza from the oven. Serve immediately while hot.
- Yield:
