If you need to make something quick that's tasty. This Lazy Man's pizza is perfect for you; it takes less than 15 minutes from start to eat! Do yourself a favor and keep these ingredients on hand, if you freeze most of the ingredients, especially the bread you'll be ready to go at any given moment. If your home alone you can simply use less ingredients to curtail the recipe to yourself. This meal is great for kids, even sleep-over's,  or any occasion that needs a decent and speedy meal. Be creative and add your own toppings, or change toppings so you'll never get bored of this recipe. Say good-bye to those unhealthy (and expensive) microwave meals. This is a new day and age where we are supposed to care what we put in our bodies.
