Note

If you do not have an Italian bread shell, you can use a pre-made pizza dough or a bagel as the base.

For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the beef mixture.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.

Ensure the corn is fully defrosted to prevent uneven cooking or excess moisture on the crust.
