Directions

Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F.

Mix in the tomato sauce, kidney beans, and taco seasoning before lowering the heat to let simmer, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, press the dough in the bottom of an ungreased 10-by-15-inch baking sheet, enough to cover the bottom of the pan, and to make sure all perforations are sealed.

Remove from oven and let set for 5 minutes before cutting into 8 servings.
