John Wayne Casserole/Taco Bake

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef, cooked and drained

1 (1.25-ounce) packet taco seasoning

4 ounces sour cream

4 ounces mayonnaise

8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided

1/2 white onion, minced

1 pizza crust mix

1 tomatoes, sliced

1/4 each of green & red bell pepper, minced

1 (4-ounce) can diced chilis

Directions

Heat oven to 325. Brown ground beef and add peppers & onions, then drain. Add taco seasoning and water, according to packet instructions; set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, 4 ounces of cheddar cheese, tomatoes, & chilis. Once the ground beef has cooked for 5 min in the taco seasoning and water, combine the sour cream mixture and the taco meat.

Stir pizza crust mix and water (directions on box) to form soft dough. Pat dough on the bottom and one-half-inch up the sides of an 9 x 13 in. greased casserole dish.

On top of pizza crust, pour beef mixture on it, and cover with cheese. Bake 30-40min until cheese is golden brown.

Brad said it was ok but bland (I disagree) and that he wouldn't really want it again. I however really like it and will be sharing the recipe with relatives. Oh I topped mine with extra sour cream and avocado slices! Salsa would be good on it too.
