I dreamed up this pizza for a New Year's Eve party at church. My craving for corn bread and black bean and corn salsa was the inspiration.—Caroline Grooms, Dickinson, North Dakota
Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
topping:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
2/3 cup water
2 envelopes taco seasoning, divided
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
1-3/4 cups (10 ounces each) shredded cheddar cheese
1-3/4 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cayenne, chili powder and salt. Combine the milk, oil and egg; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in the cheeses.
2. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
3. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in water and one envelope of taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Set aside.
4. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and remaining taco seasoning; mix well. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with the beef mixture and half of the cheeses.
5. Combine the corn, beans and salsa; spoon over cheese. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 12-15 servings.
