Bacon & Potato Pizza

Ingredients

1 pound bacon strips, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 — 13.8 oz. tube refrigerated pizza crust
1/4 cup 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Minced fresh chives and sour cream

Directions

~Preheat oven to 350°.

~In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp, stirring occasionally. Add onion and pepper; cook and stir until bacon is crisp. Drain well.

~Place potatoes and water to cover in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

~Meanwhile, unroll and press pizza crust onto an ungreased 14-in. pizza pan; prick several times with a fork. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Increase oven setting to 375°.

~Drain potatoes; return to pan. Mash potatoes, gradually adding milk and salt. Spread over crust. Top with bacon mixture and cheeses.

~Bake until cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve with sour cream.
