Love this recipe. Use spaghetti sauce instead of tomatoes since that's what I had on hand. Also used dairy free cheese. Kids and hubby love it. My weekly go-to

This recipe turned out very nice and my family enjoyed it. The crunchy top was a nice contrast to the dough bottom.

I've made this recipes many times now. It is delicious and easy to make. Many times I use a combination of meat and hamburger instead of just meat. It was too spicy for some of my family so I ended up using mild Rotel and adjusted the spices.

Really tasty! My 19-year old daughter said the flavors 'blew her mind', but it a great way.
