Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients

• 1  pound  ground round
• 1/2  cup  frozen chopped onion
• 1  (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained
• 1  teaspoon  salt-free Mexican seasoning
• 1  (10-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
• Cooking spray
• 1  cup  (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar or part-skim mozzarella cheese
• Salsa (optional)
• Reduced-fat sour cream (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

Cook beef and onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until beef is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well, and return beef mixture to pan. Stir in tomatoes and seasoning; cook over medium-high heat 1 minute or until thoroughly heated; set aside.

Unroll pizza crust dough. Press into bottom and halfway up sides of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon beef mixture over pizza crust dough.

Bake at 425° for 12 minutes. Top with cheese, and bake 5 minutes or until cheese melts and edges of crust are browned. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm. Top with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
