4. Place dough in oven pre-heated to 375 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile...

1. Brown ground venison in medium sauce pan. Drain and add onions, red pepper, and taco seasoning. Set aside.

2. In another sauce pan, over medium heat, dump 2 cans of black beans in and mash to the consistency of refried beans.

When crust is done...

1. Cover with refried black beans, ground venison, taco sauce, and rest of ingredients (do not add lettuce, sour cream, or salsa).

2. Bake in 375 degree oven until cheese is melted and toppings are cooked.

3. Remove pizza and top with lettuce. Add salsa and sour cream on side.

Enjoy!
