Taco Pizza is a Mexican meets Italian dinner. Pizza dough topped with beans, salsa, beef, cheese, and all the toppings. If you’re looking to switch up your Taco Tuesday, this Taco Pizza is the perfect twist on dinner!
A few years ago, I discovered this crescent roll taco pizza recipe and with a few small adaptions, it quickly became a favorite family dinner that we make once a week.
You’ll Need:
1 lb of ground beef. 1 envelope of taco seasoning mix. 2 (8 oz) cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls. 1 (16 oz) can of refried beans. 2-3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend. ½ cup of chopped tomatoes. ¼ cup of sliced black olives. 4 chopped green onions.
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375°. In a skillet, brown the ground beef and drain it. According to package instructions, add the taco seasoning to the beef. Place unrolled crescent rolls into rectangles in a 11 ½ inch x 16 ½ inch jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Press the dough on the bottom and ½ inch up sides to form the crust. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes. Microwave the beans for 1 minutes and spread over the crust. Add cooked beef mixture to the top and sprinkle with cheese then tomatoes, black olive and green onion. Bake for 3 to 6 more minutes and serve hot!

Garlic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes layered in a creamy garlic sauce with parmesan and mozzarella is the best side dish to any meal! Simple and easy ! My whole family loves this recipe so much. If it were for them, I’d be making this every day! Give it a shot, you’ll love it!To Make this Recipe You’ Will Need the following ingredients:
The Difference between Scalloped Potatoes and Au Gratin Potatoes Why is there so much confusion about scalloped potatoes versus Au Gratin Potatoes? Well, they are very similar. So, we are calling our dish cheesy scalloped potatoes, and let me explain why we can do that. We are basically combining the best parts of both dishes.
A traditional scalloped potato dish consists of sliced potatoes layered in a casserole dish and baked with heavy cream and lots of herbs. A traditional Au Gratin Potato dish, on the other hand, has grated cheese sprinkled between the layers, resulting in a cheesy, more decadent dish. In both dishes, the potatoes are cut into rounds, but the potatoes used in scalloped potatoes are often cut a bit thicker than those in au gratin potatoes.
Ingredients
4 russet potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch slices 1 onion, sliced into rings salt and pepper to taste 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon kosher salt 2 cups whole milk 1½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200 degrees C). Butter an 8×8 casserole dish. Arrange the potatoes and onions in the prepared baking dish, staggering potato and then onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute. Stir in milk. Cook until mixture has thickened. Stir in cheese all at once, and continue stirring until melted and smooth, about 30 to 60 seconds. Pour cheese over the potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake 1 1/2 hours (90min.) in the preheated oven. For a crisp topping, change the oven setting to broil for 5 minutes before removing the dish.

Rosemary, more than just a kitchen staple, unfolds a fragrant secret when burned at home, offering a myriad of benefits beyond its culinary use. As a member of the Lamiaceae family and indigenous to the Mediterranean, this evergreen herb has woven its way through various cultures and times due to its distinctive fresh and piercing aroma, as well as its therapeutic and culinary applications.
A Glimpse into Rosemary’s Rich Historical Tapestry
Ancient and Traditional Usage: Historically, rosemary was admired for its supposed purifying qualities, being utilized in Roman times to cleanse environments and presumably safeguard against infectious diseases.
Symbolism and Spiritual Use: In the medieval period, it was imbued with magical properties, being employed in rituals, ceremonies, and as protection against malicious spirits and infirmities.
Romantic and Protective Symbol: It was intricately tied to romantic and marital traditions, symbolizing loyalty and being used in various nuptial rituals.
Funeral Rituals: Its use extends to funeral practices in certain regions, symbolizing eternal rest and being burned in place of incense.
Burning Rosemary: Aromatic and Therapeutic Potential
Air Purification: This aromatic herb, when burned, is renowned for purifying the air, stemming from beliefs in its ability to cleanse plague-ridden areas and its recognized antimicrobial properties.
Stress Alleviation: It has been associated with creating a tranquil, stress-free environment, attributed to its calming scent.
Insect Repellent: Its smoke is known to ward off insects, offering a natural alternative to commercial repellents.
Mental and Physical Wellness: The discovery of rosemary oil, attributed to its donation to Isabella of Hungary in 1370, opened avenues in treating ailments like rheumatism and potentially, depression.
To burn rosemary, you may use an incense burner or holder, light a sprig’s tip, then gently blow out the flame, allowing it to smolder and waft its fragrance and properties through your space.
The Therapeutic Properties: A Deeper Dive
Rosemary’s smoke releases compounds like rosmarinic acid, acknowledged for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, aiding in air purification and potentially shielding against free radical damage. However, while considering its numerous advantages, it’s paramount to exercise caution due to the potential of burning herbs to release toxic and irritating fumes.
Always prioritize safety and controlled usage, ensuring proper ventilation and avoiding excessive inhalation of smoke. Moreover, before utilizing rosemary or any other natural remedies for health-related applications, professional medical advice should be sought.
In essence, while rosemary finds its pride of place in culinary arts, its aromatic virtues, symbolisms, and potential therapeutic and environmental benefits, herald it as an herb worthy of exploration and appreciation beyond the kitchen.
