Ordinary rice cakes get a taste lift with some simple pizza toppings. I keep small portions of the beef mixture in the freezer to quickly thaw for fast snacks.—Gayle Richardson, Great Falls, Montana

Ingredients

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 package (4-1/2 ounces) plain or cheese-flavored rice cakes
Italian seasoning to taste
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained

Directions

Spread tomato sauce over the rice cakes. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Spoon over rice cakes. Sprinkle with cheese and olives. Place five pizzas on a microwave-safe plate.

Great recipe and very easy. I have celiac and I am always looking for a new way to top rice cakes. I usually just top my "pizza" with some garlic and herb Laughing Cow spread and a slice of sandwich pepperoni. This is much, much better.
