Ingredients: 1 prebaked 12-inch pizza crust; 1 medium onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings; 1 small sweet red pepper, cut into 1/8-inch strips; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef, cut into 1/4-inch strips; 1 jar (6 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese; 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Okay, okay. We said mushrooms weren't just for pizza--but you must admit, the two go together pretty well. Anne Zirkle of South Riding, Virginia adds mushrooms to this combination of her husband's favorite foods. "This pizza is an ideal busy weeknight recipe," she writes.

This is one of our favorite recipes at my house. I always use homemade dough and bake on a pampered chef round stone. My husband always has me make extra toppings because they make great subs!

My husband is not a pizza fan, but when I made this, he said it was fabulous. Easy to prepare.
