Description

This is a quick Mexican-style pizza with refried beans and chili along with a hint of blue cheese dressing. I came up with this recipe after searching through my pantry looking for a quick family-friendly meal. My two teenage kids LOVE it!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup blue cheese salad dressing
1 (15 ounce) can turkey chili without beans
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar and baking powder. Stir in the milk, oil and eggs, mixing until just moist. Spread in a greased 12 inch deep-dish pizza pan, or a 10x15 inch baking pan.
2 Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes.
3 Spread the refried beans and mayonnaise over the melted cheese. Top with blue cheese dressing, turkey chili, and remaining cheese.
4 Bake for 12 to 15 more minutes in the preheated oven. Top with lettuce and diced tomatoes before slicing and serving.
