Notes
You can use ground chicken instead of ground beef. Or save time and use shredded rotisserie chicken.Choose your favorite type of pizza dough. See post for notes comparing pizza dough options. Bake time may vary by dough. If you prefer melted cheese, layer ground beef on to crust, then cheese, then remaining toppings.For less mess slices, layer sour cream directly onto crust as the "sauce" then layer on meat and other toppings.
