1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup salsa (any variety)
3/4 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1/4 cup water
2 cups Original Bisquick mix
1/3 cup very hot water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
Toppings, such as orange and green bell pepper strips, sliced ripe
olives and cherry tomato wedges, if desired
Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease
12-inch pizza pan. Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium heat,
stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Stir in salsa, corn and
1/4 cup water. Heat to boiling; remove from heat.
Mix Bisquick, 1/3 cup hot water and the oil until soft dough forms;
