Brown the burger, sausage, green pepper, onion, and garlic until the meat is fully cooked. While this is cooking, spread/pat/roll your crust unto a greased jelly roll pan, pushing the dough up the sides to make an edge. Prebake the crust in a 400 oven for 7-10 minutes or until it just begins to color. Top the hot crust with the desired amount of pasta sauce. (I don't like too much sauce on my pizza) Add the meat mixture, spreading evenly. Top with the sliced Velveeta cheese, leaving about 1/2 inch between slices. Add the mozzarella cheese in an even layer. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes, or until the top layer of cheese begins to brown. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting into 12 squares.

Frito Enchilada Pie

Frito Enchilada Pie 4 c small fritos 3 c cooked ground beef, taco seasoned 3 c grated cheese 10 oz can of enchilada sauce I poured the Fritos into a large bowl, added the cooked ground beef and 2 c of cheese and tossed it to mix. I emptied it into my elec skillet, but you can certainly use a casserole dish and heat it in the oven. I sprinkled on the rest of the cheese and poured the enchilada sauce on top. I set my skillet to the "warm" setting, placed the lid on, and in about 15 min it was bubbly hot and the cheese was melted. Garnish with sour cream, pico de gallo, salsa, salad, whatever your heart desires.
