A delightful twist on pizza using a crispy hash brown crust, topped with savory beef and melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and finely chopped onion. Mix until well combined.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined for a consistent crust.
Press the hash brown mixture firmly into a greased 12-inch pizza pan, forming a rim around the edge.
Pressing firmly helps the crust hold its shape during baking.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Check the crust towards the end of baking to avoid over-browning.
In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
Draining the fat ensures a leaner topping.
Add the chili powder and tomato sauce to the cooked beef, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together.
Spread the beef mixture evenly over the baked crust.
Spread the topping evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the beef mixture.
Ensure the cheese covers the topping evenly for a gooey finish.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent overcooking.
Slice and serve your Cheesy Hash Brown Pizza Delight hot.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
