Yes, you heard right: Casey’s Taco Bubble Pizza… yum! When my friend Autumn text messaged me on Monday night and told me she was going here, I was instantly drooling. Now, about a year ago, I made a Pilsbury recipe for Mexican Bubble Pizza. It was alright, but let me tell you: This was amazing!
I started with the base of any great taco meat…. Half a large onion, a small green pepper, and one jalapeno all chopped up fine.
I let them soften in the skillet, then added a pound of ground beef. Once that was browned, I added a packet of taco seasoning, and a half a cup of water, and let it simmer while I worked on this (and forgot to take a picture of my taco meat 🙂 )… The sauce and the bubbles! I used a 24 oz jar of salsa and a cup of ‘refried’ beans. Now, m pizza was very saucy, you could have only added two cups of the salsa and been okay… I didn’t read the ounces until after i used it 🙂 I had intended to use two cups.
After mixing up the sauce, I used my handy kitchen shears to cut two tubes of grands biscuits into eighths, and mixed it all up!
Now, at this point I should have taken more pics, but I didn’t. Space case? That would be me! My days and nights are all turned around as we’re still waiting for life to regain a sense of normal… that and this was my third cooking project of the day.
After mixing up the saucy bubbles 🙂 , you add a cup of cheddar cheese, and your cooked taco meat. Dump into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, top with more cheese, and bake for another 20 minutes. Plate up, and top with lettuce, tomato, and a dollup of sour cream….
Casey’s Taco Bubble Pizza

Saute onion and peppers. Add Beef, and brown. Sprinkle with taco seasoning, and add water. Simmer on low til thickened.
Mix salsa and beans together in a large bowl. Cut biscuits into eighths and add to sauce. Mix in half of cheese, and all of ground beef mixture. Pour into greased 9×13 pan. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake for 20 additional minutes.
Serve with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream sprinkled on the top.
One thing I forgot was taco chips, to truly be an authentic Casey’s Taco Bubble Pizza, taco flavored Dorito’s would make perfection. All in all this is a pretty mild dish. You could add a little more heat to the sauce with a spicier salsa than the one I used if you are into that sort of thing. Also, if you are using canned refried beans, you might need to season a little more. I used mine, and so they had quite a bit of flavor.
Enjoy 🙂
Yummy!
