Have you ever had one of those nights where you haven't been to the grocery store in about a week and your kids have eaten you out of house and home and you feel like there's nothing in your house but maybe a pack of ground meat? Well that was my issue the other night! and I didn't want to really put out a spread! So I found this online and made a few changes that make it a lot easier for quick dinners or even lunches! Enjoy! Happy eating!!
Ilb. of any lean ground meat ( I used turkey)
2 cups of Mexican cheese and 1/4 cup of queso blanco
Pillsbury pizza crust ( you can find this in the cooler isle of your market)
1 sweet onion chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
2 cloves of minced garlic
8 ounces softened cream cheese
2 cups of your favorite salsa
In a skillet put a good drizzle of olive oil, the onions, bell pepper, 2 cloves of garlic, and cook on medium heat until caramelized (which means they are softened and have a browned color) then add the meat keeping the temperature on medium. When meat is browned it is ready.
Combine creme cheese and salsa together in a bowl and mix. Then spread onto the pizza crust, which should be laying opened flat. Then add the meat mix on top of the cream cheese spread. On top of the meat, layer the cheeses as well.
Pizza crust- You want to cut small pieces on the sides so that way you are able to braid the top part of the dough. Braid dough by overlapping the loose cut pieces over each other. Put in oven and bake as directed on back of the dough package. Eat and enjoy. Happy eating!!
