Blue Cheese Appetizer Pizza

SUBMITTED BY: Kathy Stanaway

"Kathy Stanaway's mouth-watering recipe makes enough for two pizzas. 'Loaded with crumbled blue cheese, slices are always popular at card parties and New Year's Eve gatherings,' writes the DeWitt, Michigan reader. 'My kids also love this pizza--we sometimes make it as an alternative to the regular Italian variety."
