Ingredients
Pizza Dough Ingredients
- Bisquick (or anything similar)

- pureed green leaf vegetable (spinach, kale, etc)
- oil and salt
- flax, chia, and hemp seeds - these work together to make this a high fiber pizza.

- Etc….
Instructions
Combine the ingredients for the dough in a large bowl
Knead the dough until it is smooth and set it aside for about 5-30 minutes.
Dust a surface with all-purpose flour and then gently roll out the pizza.
Spinach Pizza Dough
Dust a pizza pan with flour and then transfer the dough onto a pizza pan using my method below.
Bake the yeast free pizza crust at 375 for about 7-10 minutes, remove from the oven and then add your toppings and bake again until the cheese has melted and browned.
Whether you use kale, spinach, collard greens, or zucchini the addition of veggies gives us a peace of mind.
Equipment Needed
- Pizza Pan
- Rolling Pin
- Large Bowl for Mixing
- Towel or Saran Wrap to Cover dough
- Fork or Knife
- Cutting Board and Knife
- Large Surface/Work Area.
Top Tips
- Add as many variety of greens as you possibly want to the vegetarian pizza! I sometimes mix kale, spinach, and chard.
- If you have a picky eater, cover the entire top of the pizza with sauce so the crust is nowhere to be seen.
- Encourage the little ones to eat “colored pizza” for the holidays. Hence, green pizza for Christmas!

Add more flour and knead it well. I prefer the dough to be a bit sticky, it helps keep the inside of the pizza soft and the outside crispy.
It’s a high gluten dough that needs to cook at a high temperature. It makes a tasty pizza!
Cook at 375 degrees for about 7-10 minutes.
You don’t have to, but I recommend it.

For this recipe, I do not recommend it. Cooking the protein with the pasta and water helps break it up which gives this recipe a great texture.
I tried to make this recipe with Daiya cheese years ago. Once you have had the real deal, it won’t taste the same unfortunately.
There are plenty of variations to choose from when it comes to taco seasoning. You can use any brand or combination you have on hand.
I love Jovial brand brown rice pasta or Trader Joe’s brown rice pasta. In fact, that is mostly what I use and highly recommend it.

Mexican Cheeseburger Macaroni
Ingredients1x2x3x
PASTA INGREDIENTS
- ▢ 1 lb ground protein (turkey, beef, soy, etc)
- ▢ 10 oz diced tomato and peppers (i.e. Rotel)
- ▢ 1 package McCormick taco seasoning
- ▢ 1 cup elbow macaroni
- ▢ 2 cups water or broth
- ▢ ½ teaspoon salt
- ▢ 3 cloves garlic
- ▢ red chili powder (optional)
- ▢ oil
CHEESE SAUCE INGREDIENTS
- ▢ 2 tablespoon butter
- ▢ 2 tablespoon flour
- ▢ ¾ cup milk
- ▢ 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
PASTA METHOD
- Heat a pan and add a pinch of oil. Mash your ground protein and then add it to the pan. (SIDE NOTE: I like to mix mine so the lines of the ground meat don’t cook in the same form/shape.)
- Stir in the taco seasoning, garlic, red chili powder, Rotel, and salt.
- Mix and add 2 cups of water and the pasta.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, you can make the cheese sauce.
- After the water has evaporated, stir in the cheese sauce.
- Mix the two together and simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Serve!
CHEESE SAUCE METHOD
- Heat a saucepan and add butter to it. Once heated, add the flour and whisk until cooked through (about 1-2minutes on low heat).
- Whisk in the milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Once the mixture boils and thickens, remove it from the heat.
- Add in the cup of shredded cheese and continue to whisk until it is all mixed and a thick sauce. Set it aside until ready to mix with the pasta.
