Using green peppers as pizza crust is a GREAT way to save calories and carbs. That idea came from my husband, Dan (the genius behind Dan Good Chili, which can be found in the first HG book). Thanks, Sweetie!

Ingredients

2 large green bell peppers

¾ cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese

17 pieces turkey pepperoni, chopped

One 8-ounce can (about 1 cup) tomato sauce with Italian seasonings

¼ cup chopped mushrooms

3 tablespoons chopped red onion

One-half no-calorie sweetener packet

1 tablespoon reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping

Salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut each pepper lengthwise into thirds, so you have six “boat”-shaped pieces. Discard stems and seeds.

Place pepper pieces on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until peppers are slightly soft and edges look cooked.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix tomato sauce with sweetener. Season to taste with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir in mushrooms and onion.

Once peppers are done, remove from the oven and set aside. Leave oven on. Once cool enough to handle, blot any excess moisture from inside the pepper pieces.

Evenly distribute veggie-sauce mixture among pepper “crusts,” about 2 tablespoons for each pizza. Top with chopped pepperoni.

Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese among the pizzas. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, until cheese has melted.

Remove pepper pizzas from the oven and top each with ½ teaspoon Parm-style topping. Let cool slightly. Now CHEW!
