Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch crust) pizza dough
- 1 cup cooked ground beef
- 0.5 cup cooked kidney beans
- 1 tablespoon chili seasoning mix
- 0.75 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced red onion
- 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a clean surface, lightly dust with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Dust a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet with cornmeal, then transfer the dough onto it.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, chili seasoning mix, and tomato sauce until evenly mixed.
Spread the seasoned meat sauce mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top of the meat mixture.
Add the thinly sliced red onion and sliced jalapeños on top of the cheese layer.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Drizzle olive oil over the crust if desired and sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top for a burst of freshness.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy, cheesy Chili Pizza!
