If Bocoe ate pizza...

We would have met the Hunger Challenge. ($1 per person per meal) I missed it by 68 cents! This was still too good to pass up sharing!



Carl’s Favorite Pizza Pie
$0.24 Sauce
$0.51 Crust
$1.93 Toppings
---------------
$2.68 per 14” 3-Topping Pizza (Corporate Chain’s Large Size)

Price vary depending on what toppings you use. I often find Shredded Cheese on sale. If you buy big chunks from the Deli and shred it yourself, you can really get good savings that way too. I was just lazy the last time I went to the grocery store. I hope you try this out. Don’t be afraid of pizza. It’s sooo easy!

Tomato Sauce (Enough Sauce for two 14” pizzas)
Ingredients
1- 8 oz can of Tomato Sauce ($0.24)
1/5 Green Bell Pepper Chopped ($0.10)
1/4 Small Onion Chopped ($0.06)
1 tsp Garlic Powder ($0.03)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning ($0.03)
1 Tbsp Corn Starch ($0.01)
1 cup Water

Directions:
Put all but Corn Starch and Water into Blender. (Carl loves veggies but dislikes chunks of onion on his pizza, also a great way to get picky children/husbands to get the veggies by blending them. If they can’t see it, are they REALLY eating it? LOL) Pour sauce into sauce pan. Pour water into blender to get remaining goodness out of there! Swish water around and add liquid to sauce in pan. Whisk in corn starch and warm to thicken.

Pizza Crust (Yields one 14” thin crust)
Ingredients:
1 package Jiffy Pizza Crust Mix ($0.49)
1/4 cup Corn Meal – OPTIONAL ($0.02)

Directions:
Make Pizza Crust according to package instructions. I use corn meal on my pizza stone. Makes it taste like take out! (With a dine in price!)

Toppings
1 Beef Bratwurst Chopped ($0.50)
15 Pepperoni Slices ($0.33)
½ Jalapeno Pepper finely diced ($0.10)
4 oz of shredded Cheese ($1.00)

Directions:
Spread sauce on crust. Add toppings (Meat first Cheese Last). Bake at 450F for 15 minutes or until crust is brown and cheese is melted.
