Description

This One-Alarm Chili Pizza is the ultimate weeknight dinner hack, merging the robust flavors of a homemade chili with the convenience of a pizza. The base features a simple, flavorful chili made with lean ground beef, kidney beans, and Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, seasoned with cumin and chili powder for that authentic smoky kick. Spread over a pre-made 12-inch pizza crust, the mixture is topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and baked until bubbly and golden. Finished with a cool dollop of sour cream and fresh green onions, this dish offers a perfect balance of heat, creaminess, and crunch. Its a satisfying, protein-packed meal that comes together in under an hour, making it ideal for busy families or casual gatherings.
