Frugal Recipe - Taco Pizza


In Wisconsin, we have this thing called a Taco Pizza. I don't know of any other area that has these, but believe me, they're awesome. So delicious, that Brent wanted them at least once a week. At the pizza place, it costs $15 for a large. That's quite an expense, but some would argue that it is worth the price to enjoy its scrumptiousness. Maybe I could make them at home, I thought, and save a little cash. I called the pizza place to find out exactly what was on them, and set out on my experiment. The result was almost as good as the store version, and only cost about $6. Not my most frugal meal, but less than half the price of the take out version. So, give this recipe a try, and enjoy.

Makes one pizza.

All ingredients are to personal taste.

One pre baked crust (from the grocery store or homemade)
taco sauce
cooked ground beef
shredded cheese (chedder or 'taco')
sour cream
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
Dorito style chips (generic are best)

Spread the taco sauce on the crust - just enough to cover - not as much as the sauce on a regular pizza. Top with ground beef and cheese. Bake for 12 minutes at 350. After taking out of the oven, spread sour cream, sprinkle the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes on top, then crush nacho chips over the whole pizza.

Pour more taco sauce on top for extra flavor.

Yummy!
Also tastes good without ground beef for all you vegetarians.
