Vegetarian Refried Bean Pizza
We're always looking for new recipe ideas to change up our meals and going vegetarian once a week or so is a great and tasty change of pace. This is another homemade pizza that works really well with the Cornmeal Pizza Crust. A simple vegetarian alternative to the basic pizza, this pizza is not lacking in protein or fiber and makes an easy to prepare dinner. One slice was very filling and you can always add a small salad as well. If you prefer a meat pizza, add some cooked, crumbled Turkey Bacon.
