Reviews
Easy Dinner and Good!!!!!!
The concept was great but it just didn’t wow us at all. It needs half the crust (even as a deep dish) and twice the beef/bean mixture. We did add additional toppings (sour cream, salsa, lettuce, chopped tomatoes) but there was so much crust , it was like eating a biscuit. I’ll try again with some major changes to the proportions.
Good, and yes I realize it says deep dish, but it was just too much crust for us. Next time I will use a 10x15 and see that is.
Loved the cornmeal in the crust! We added the chopped tomatoes and sliced avocado and had salsa on the side for the adults.
This reminded my husband and I of the fiestada pizza from the school cafeteria but with a thicker & tastier crust. Good idea to put in a 9 by 13. Next time we will add the suggested toppings.
My husband really liked this hearty dish. We followed the suggestion to add other toppings,including sour cream, salsa, lettuce and tomato. Be sure to let it sit the full 5 minutes before eating - the refried beans hold their heat!
Love that it used a 9x13 pan. Crust was good and held up to the topping.
