01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it browns, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Once it’s nicely browned, drain off any excess grease. Then, stir in the tomato sauce and taco seasoning, letting it cook together for a couple of minutes.

Step 2
Next, place your frozen pizza on a baking pan. Spread a layer of refried beans evenly over the crust, then top with the seasoned beef mixture. Finish by sprinkling a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese over everything.

Step 3
Pop the pizza into the oven and bake until the crust is crispy, the edges turn golden, and the cheese melts—this usually takes around 15 to 17 minutes. Once it’s done, take it out, let it cool for a minute, and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve alongside a simple green salad or a bowl of black beans for a well-rounded meal. It also pairs well with a cold beverage like iced tea or a light beer to balance the bold flavors. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch.
Storage & leftovers
If you have leftovers, store the toppings separately from the crispy base to keep everything fresh and prevent sogginess. Use airtight containers and keep refrigerated for up to two days. Reheat the base briefly in the oven or toaster oven to restore its crunch before serving again.
