Biscuit Tostada Pizza

 

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix

1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce

1 can (4.5 oz)  chopped green chiles, drained

3 to 4 drops red pepper sauce

1 can (12 oz)  Jr. Golden Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits

1 cup refried beans

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded

1 large tomato, chopped (1 cup)

1 small onion, sliced or chopped

 

1. In 10-inch skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix, tomato sauce, chiles and red pepper sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until hot and bubbly. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 15 minutes or until thickened.
