INGREDIENTS

Cooking Time: 20
Servings: 5 servings
Preparation Time: 5

1 unbaked (12 inch), whole-wheat or traditional pizza crust

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 can (15 ounces) vegetarian chili*

1/3 cup chopped, sun-dried tomatoes

1/3 cup shredded, part-skim mozzarella cheese

3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 can (4 ounces) sliced black olives, optional

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

DIRECTIONS

Preparation:

Heat oven to 425ºF. Put pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Brush olive oil evenly over crust. Spread chili and tomatoes on top. Combine mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, oregano and black olives, if desired; sprinkle over pizza. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Garnish with basil.

*If chili needs thickening, simmer until the desired consistency is reached. Other varieties of chili may be substituted for vegetarian chili, such as no-bean chili or turkey chili (with consequent changes to the nutrition information).
