I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but to my surprise they were so good and better yet cured my craving for pizza!
Ingredients:
1 package of precooked polenta
part skim mozzerella cheese
organic all natural pizza sauce
green peppers
Slice the polenta, add toppings and bake at 400 for about 25 min.
