Cheesy Taco Pizza

[Ol-blue]

You can use store bought pizza dough from a can or make your own crust from your favorite recipe. I have included my pizza crust recipe that I like to use.
My son likes to spread some sour cream on top of his pizza. You can change it up by adding olives and tomatoes along with the sour cream.
Enjoy! Debbie

Hm, never heard of it, but I will look for it.

I don't have much experience with yeast, but I would like to try your crust recipe..
You say to combine the flour,yeast,sugar,salt, and oil to a bowl, and then add warm water? Is the warm water for the yeast? Do I had just enough water to make the soft ball like you said?

I'm sure any brand sauce will work, my family likes this brand the best.
This crust is very easy. The water is for the yeast, just add all the water, but if you are not sure add until you get a soft workable dough. I have always added the same amount of water every time. Debbie
