MEXICAN PIZZA 
10 oz. can Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust
1 lb. ground beef
1 lg. onion, chopped (about 3/4 c.)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (15 oz.) can refried beans
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 (8 oz.) jar taco sauce
2 c. shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (8 oz.)
1 tbsp. sliced ripe olives

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare pizza crust according to package directions in 12" pizza pan or 9"x13" pan. Bake 5 minutes. Cook and stir ground beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is brown; drain. Spread beans to edge of baked crust. Layer beef mixture, chilies, taco sauce, cheese and olives on beans. Cover edge of crust with 2 to 3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.

Bake 10 minutes at 450 degrees; remove foil. Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly in center, about 10 minutes longer.
