Poor Man's Pizza

Another recipe from the mind of Radioguy...

Wifey and I are on the low-carb diet thing, and have been for a few years now. "Believe you me," - it really isn't that bad. Smart substitutions for everyday ingredients make the low-carb lifestyle very easy. Thursday nights are our "low-carb pizza nights," that is, we get a low-carb pizza each Thursday night from Pappa Murphy's. Well, I am a big pizza fan, so I came up with something to tide me over until Thursday nights...

POOR MAN'S (LOW-CARB) PIZZA

INGREDIENTS
  • 4 slices of bread (or 2 flour tortillas)
  • pasta sauce
  • onion, chopped
  • green bell pepper, chopped
  • cheddar cheese, shredded
This one is an easy-cooking meal. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spritz a cookie sheet with vegetable oil. Place the bread (or tortillas) on the sheet, and spritz them with oil. Thinly spread pasta sauce on top of the bread (or tortillas). Add toppings, witht the cheese on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until bread (or tortilas) are crispy and easily removeable from the cookie sheet. Serve hot.

This recipe is a winner, I think. Much more "family friendly" than the "fried spaghetti" or "burnt weenie sandwich" recipies I've been tossing about.
