Well, dear reader, I am late posting because I thought today was Saturday, and I don't blog on Saturday. The Bibbed Wonder came in and reminded me that it is indeed Friday, and I do indeed have blogging responsibilities. Today, I will share another easy, go-to recipe my family enjoys, and The Bean will eat without complaint. Taco pizza is what is on the menu for today.
As a kid, I remember my mom making taco pizza; back then, it seemed exotic and delicious. Today, the original recipe stands up to modern taste buds. I almost always have the ingredients on hand for this recipe. Taco pizza is one of my go-to recipes when I fail to plan my meals. Jordan declares this to be one of her favorite meals. My child, who will choose a Swiss Roll over a home-cooked meal, will eat multiple slices of this easy meal.
I made this for dinner on Valentine's Day because I knew my girl would enjoy it. Making something everyone enjoys is simple and puts a smile on their faces, making it a shareable recipe. This recipe can be ready in under a half hour and feeds a crowd.
