Servings: persons

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
2 (12 inch) prepared pizza crust or (12 inch) frozen cheese, pizzas
2 (16 ounce) jars chunky salsa
2 (8 ounce) packages shredded Mexican blend cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, and other mild cheeses combined)
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
1 cup chopped cooked ham
shredded lettuce
sour cream

1
Position the oven rack at the lowest level. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven on the rack. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2
Heat the oil in a small saucepan and cook the green pepper and mushrooms over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Cut the crusts into biscuit sized pieces using a biscuit cutter. Distribute the vegetables evenly over the crusts. Reserve 1 cup of the salsa and spoon the remaining salsa evenly over the pizzas. If you don't have a pizza stone, place the pizzas on a baking sheet. They won't be as crisp this way, but this is a lot less messy than placing them directly on the rack.
3
Bake the pizzas for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake 7 minutes more. Serve the pizza slices topped with the reserved salsa, olives, cooked ham, shredded lettuce and sour cream.
4
Note: For variety, you can make a Greek style pizza, using olives, tapenade, spinach and feta cheese. An Italian style pizza uses tomato sauce and provolone cheese. A vegetarian style pizza simply omits the meat.
