For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with black beans or crumbled tofu. Add some diced tomatoes, olives, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition. Feel free to use your favorite type of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Colby Jack. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture. Make it ahead: Prepare the ground beef mixture and sauce in advance, then assemble the pizzas just before baking.
