Mexican Beef Pizza

Homemade pizza, as you may know by know, are a favourite meal in our house. Not only are they easy to make but at times taste so much better than a brought pizza not to mention they are a lot healthier depending on the toppings. Speaking of which when we have homemade pizza it's a family affair with each of us choosing our own toppings.

Tonight I choose to create a Mexican Pizza but instead of using ham or salami I decided to use minced beef that was seasoned prior to putting on the pizza itself. It was very enjoyable and the flavours of the vegetables and seasoned meat was really good.
