Great dinner for 4 under $10


Since I have started cutting back on my spending I am really trying to utilize what I have in my stocked pantry and our small garden. Tonight I fixed homemade pizza.



Ingredients:


2 Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls 2/$4 at Kroger

Pepperoni / Aldi's $2.99 used half bag

Mozzarella Cheese 8 oz .49 (sale price) Kroger

Classico Basil/ tomato sauce (1/2 jar) .50 Kroger

Drizzle of EVOO .15

Fresh herbs FREE from our herb garden

Thinly slices plum and cherry tomatoes Free from our garden.

Banana Peppers thinly sliced Free from garden

Chiffonade of fresh Basil leaves FREE from garden (Link that explains this technique) :http://www.cookthink.com/reference/50/What_is_a_chiffonade

NOTE: Don't precut your basil it will brown very quickly. I put it on the pizza the last few minutes in the oven. It will fill your house with the best fresh smell~

It was so good. I got the idea to use the crescent rolls as the crust from a friends recipe for BBQ chicken pizza and I loved the crisp, flaky crust you get with the crescent dough.
