Wagon Wheel Pizza

Yee Haw!  Here's a super easy recipe of mine that won the grand prize-- a gas grill-- in a contest sponsored by Original Western Dressing a few years back.


 It's so simple a child could make it, but it's a hearty meal and a great twist on usual pizza fare.  Fun for a hoe-down or cowboy-themed party, too.  If you can't find the dressing, try your favorite barbecue sauce!

3/4 lb. lean ground beef
3/4 Cup Original Western Dressing
1/2 Cup chopped red onion
1 (4.5 oz.) can chopped mild green chilies
1 (12-inch) Boboli Italian Bread Shell (or any purchased, baked pizza crust)
2 Cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  In a skillet, cook ground beef until crumbly, about 5 minutes.  Drain off drippings.  Stir in dressing, onion, and chilies.
2. Spoon meat mixture over bread shell.  Sprinkle with mozzarella.  Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese melts.  Sprinkle with cilantro.
