CORNBREAD TACO SKILLET PIZZA
Cornbread Taco Skillet Pizza.. ground beef, refried beans, salsa, and taco, seasonings baked on a cornbread crust, and topped with cheese, chips, sour cream and veggies.
I originally made this Cornbread Taco Skillet Pizza recipe as a contest entry for the national cornbread contest, but it did not get chosen. I then shared it with Taste of Home, where it is published on their website.
A taco pizza can be made with so many variations. This recipe is like a deep-dish skillet pizza. It is a hearty meal or snack and can be served straight out of the pan.

Our family loves tacos, tacos in a bag, and taco pizza. My husband and I have eaten taco pizza many times at our local Pizza Hut. We have not been able to find this any other place, and the last time we ordered it there, they said it was being removed from the menu.
TACO PIZZA SUPREME is another variation of a taco pizza with a regular pizza crust.
A TACO IN A BAG is always a big hit. Even the adults like this treat. My grandchildren like to have this when they have parties with their friends also. To create this, follow the instructions on the package of taco seasoning mix.
Brown the meat, add seasoning and water, set up little bowls with the meat, cheese, salsa, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, and the star of the bar…little bags of Doritos.
Crumble the Doritos a little, and fill the bag with your choice of meat and toppings.
