| Pizza Rice Bakes (One idea lead to another) |
| This one has all my favorite toppings: spinach, sliced artichoke hearts, green and red pepper, onions & black olives. |
| 2 cups cooked brown rice 1/4 cup pizza sauce Mix rice with pizza sauce and spoon into non-stick round cake pan (or use a spray of pan spray on a regular round cake pan). Pack down with a spoon. Bake at 350� for 20 - 25 minutes. When done, place a plate over the cake pan and invert. Place a baking sheet over the plate and invert (you should now have the rice bake on the baking sheet right side up). Spread a tablespoon or two of pizza sauce on top of the rice bake and add all your favorite pizza toppings. Return to oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes (or until toppings are cooked). Allow to set for a couple minutes before cutting. THIS CRUST IS NOT LIKE REGULAR PIZZA CRUST - IT WILL FALL APART IF NOT SUPPORTED WITH A SPATULA WHEN TRANSFERING TO A PLATE! These can also be baked in a muffin tin like the Rice Bakes above for individual snacks. Toppings: * mushrooms * onions * chopped green/red peppers * chopped tomatoes * sliced artichoke hearts * spinach * pineapple Optional toppings: * sliced black olives * soy cheese * soy bakon bits * soy sausage * soy canadian bakon NOTE: If following the Maximum Weight Loss Program, avoid the optional toppings. |
