Corn Crust Taco Pizza

This has easy, fun ingredients that kids will enjoy, and if made with lower fat items, is quite healthy, compared to some of the "fast food" stuff. It looks like a pizza, smells like tacos and is just all around good.

Ingredients:

• 1 small box corn muffin mix
• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 1 pkg. (1.25 oz.) taco seasoning
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, (can use the new Mexican mixes)
• shredded lettuce, salsa, and sour cream to serve with the dish

Directions:

Prepare corn muffin mix as directed on package. Spread on greased pizza pan, or pan of similar size. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Brown ground beef, drain any fat. Mix 1 pkg. taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water as directed on pkg. (Be sure to check the brand you have to make sure it calls for 3/4 cup water). Add this to the meat, mix together. Sprinkle half the cheese on the baked corn muffin crust, top that with the cooked meat mix, then the rest of the cheese.

Bake another 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve with the shredded lettuce, salsa, and sour cream. Any of these things, cheese, and sour cream can be the lower fat variety, and will work quite well.
