To make this simple dinner recipe, I started by browning some ground beef in a large frying pan.
While the ground beef was cooking I added some diced onions, salt and pepper to the pan.
Once the beef was fully cooked and the onions were starting to brown I added some pepperoni slices, diced green peppers, pizza sauce and real bacon bits to the pan.
I stirred all of the ingredients together really well.
Then I poured some Frito’s corn chips into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
I spooned the ground beef mixture over the corn chips being careful to spread it out evenly.
Then I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
I placed some pepperoni slices on top of the cheese and then sprinkled the dish with diced green peppers and real bacon bits.
Then I placed the dish in the oven and cooked it until the cheese was just starting to brown.
This easy ground beef dinner recipe has all the flavours of pizza on a crunchy corn chip base.
