Ingredients

Scale

For the Pizza

  • 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade, approximately 12 inches)
  • 1 cup seasoned ground beef (cooked with taco seasoning)
  • 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the pizza to a perfect golden crust and bubbly cheese.
  2. Prepare the crust: Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. For extra crispiness, lightly brush the crust edges with a bit of oil if desired.
  3. Add the toppings: Evenly spread the cooked and seasoned beef over the pizza crust. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the beef to infuse that distinct Cool Ranch flavor.
  4. Sprinkle the cheese: Generously cover the beef and ranch layer with shredded cheese, making sure to reach the edges for a cheesy finish.
  5. Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, and the crust is cooked through.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute the seasoned beef with ground turkey or a plant-based meat alternative for a different variation.
  • Adding toppings like sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or chopped cilantro can enhance the flavor and add freshness.
  • Use a pizza stone if available to get a crispier crust.
  • Ranch seasoning mix can be homemade using a blend of dried herbs and spices if preferred over store-bought.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
