Deep Dish Taco Casserole
A taco-inspired casserole with pizza crust as a base, refried beans, taco meat, cheese, and seasoned rice.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 16 oz refrigerated deep dish pizza dough (1 tube)
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 16 oz refried beans
- 1 Knorr Taco Rice mix
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 1/3 cup taco sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small skillet over medium heat, cook, stir, and crumble meat until not longer pink. Drain. Add taco seasoning to meat along with 3/4 cup water. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate pan, prepare the Knorr Taco Rice dish according to instructions.
- Press dough to fit a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Microwave beans at 45 second intervals until warm and combine with taco sauce; spread over dough. Top with taco rice, followed by beef mixture and cheese. Bake on a lower oven rack until crust is golden and cheese is melted, 15-18 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
