16 slices
Ingredients:
Crust Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups cornmeal
1 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup oil
1 four-ounce can green chilies, drained*
Meat Ingredients:
3/4 pound ground beef or turkey
1 medium onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup (8 ounces) diced tomatoes (may be canned)
1 cup (8 ounces) mild salsa (If using thin salsa, add 1/4 cup water, also)
1 six-ounce can tomato paste
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
8 ounces (2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
Topping Ingredients:
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomato
Sliced black olives
Sour cream
Shredded cheese
Instructions:
1. Brown ground meat with the onion and garlic. Drain and add remaining meat ingredients. (Not cheese) Heat until simmering. Simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Combine cornmeal, flour, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add milk, oil, and green chilies, stirring just enough to form a sticky lump of dough.
3. Grease a 16-inch pizza pan. Put the ball of dough in the center of the pan and start flattening it with your hands and spreading it towards the sides of the pan. When your hands get a little sticky, just wet them with a little water and continue pressing. Bake crust for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
4. Pour meat mixture over hot crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for an additional 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
5. When pizza is done, add additional topping ingredients as desired and cut into 16 slices.
