Taco Bake

Posted in Recipes by

We love eating Mexican and I came across this recipe for a taco bake and thought I would add to it with some things that my family likes. The original recipe calls for 1 lb of ground beef, with all the items I added to this recipe, I was able to cut the meat mixture in two and freeze half to use when I make this again or for simple tacos!

What you will need:
1 lb ground beef
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 packet taco seasoning
1 red pepper, diced
4 jalapeño peppers, diced
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
(Optional)
Sour cream
Cilantro and/or green onions, finely chopped
Salsa

How it is done:
1. Preheat the oven to 375*. Brown ground beef in skillet, drain. Return to pan and add seasoning, beans, corn, tomatoes with chilies, and peppers. Simmer for 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, grease a 10 inch pie plate or similar size rectangle pan. Spread crescent dough evenly in pan, be sure to press dough up on sides for a crust.

3. Pour half the meat mixture into the pan. (You can freeze the other half for a future dinner.) Cover with cheese.

4. Bake at 375* for 14-17 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

5. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, cilantro, green onions, or salsa.

Pizza

I read a couple of recipes for making pizza using frozen bread dough. I loved this idea because it seemed like it would be better than a mix crust you get in a package and way easier than making a dough from scratch. Here is what I did…

I thawed a loaf of frozen white bread dough. I actually did this the night before, but there is a speed method mentioned on the back of the package that you could try if you are pressed for time.

I formed the dough into a ball and placed it on my pizza pan that was sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. The recipe I read said to cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.

After the dough has risen, spread your pizza sauce over the top, leaving room around the edges for a crust. There are several great recipes for making your own pizza sauce, I just used some from the store.

I cooked some ground Italian sausage and sprinkled that over the sauce. I then covered the pizza with mozzarella cheese.

Before placing the pizza in the oven, I brushed the crust with some melted butter that had been mixed with garlic powder. I cooked the pizza at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

It was a big hit with both my husband and my son! In the future, if I am really feeling extra culinary and have some time on my hands, I would like to try making the sauce from scratch! I will also experiment with different toppings as well!

What you will need:
1 loaf frozen bread dough (such as Rhoads), thawed
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/2 lb cooked ground sausage
2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

How it is done:
1. Place the thawed dough on a pizza pan that has been covered with non stick cooking spray. Spread out the dough, cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
2. Spread sauce over the dough. Leave room for a crust.
3. Add desired toppings.
4. Sprinkle cheese on top.
5. Brush crust with olive oil/garlic powder mixture.
6. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Philly Burgers

What you will need:
•1 pound of ground beef
•About 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
•2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
•1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
•Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
•1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
•1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
•1 large green pepper, thinly sliced
•1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
•6-8 slices deli-cut provolone cheese
•3-4 crusty rolls, split and lightly toasted

How it is done:

In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Place in the refrigerator until chilled so that the flavors can meld.

While the meat chills, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet, two turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the onions; season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the green pepper and crushed red pepper and cook for 7-8 minutes to soften.

Bring the meat to room temperature and form 3-4 patties that are thinner at the center than at the edges for even cooking; drizzle with olive oil. On an outdoor grill, in a large skillet or griddle pan, cook the patties over medium-high heat to desired doneness, about 8 minutes for pink centers, turning once. Melt two slices of provolone over each patty during the last minute of cooking. Serve the burgers on the toasted rolls topped with the peppers and onions.
