Sauce:
1 cup low fat sour cream
1 can (10.5 oz) healthy request cream of chicken soup

3 T. ranch salad dressing
2 c. mozzarella cheese
1 c. Monterrey Jack cheese
3 medium Roma tomatoes
1 medium green bell pepper

3/4 of a 8-oz package of John Morrell cubed ham, or the whole pkg :)
(Don’t substitute lunch meat ham.)
1 tsp garlic salt
½ tsp basil
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp pepper
Spread ranch salad dressing over dough. Combine cheeses, reserving a few tablespoons of the mozzarella, and sprinkle over pizza. Evenly distribute tomatoes, green pepper, onion, mushrooms, and ham. Combine salt, basil, oregano, and pepper and sprinkle evenly over pizza. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over top. Bake at 400° for about 18-19 minutes on a preheated pizza stone sprinkled with cornmeal, or ~25 minutes in an oiled cookie sheet. Take out when the crust is golden around the edges.
