Cookbook creator says: I definately plan to make this in the future. I'd rather use ground turkey than hamburger because of less fat! It can be made in the oven too. Have a 350 degree oven and bake for 40 minutes.

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!

I don't like fish much, but I love this recipe! I think the sauce can be used with other fish/seafood.

This is lower fat than another recipe I found with ground beef and real cheese.

Reconfigure the "additions" to suit your fancy.... or replace the Splenda with another sweetener if you're trying to stay "au natural." This is a base recipe that can be tweaked to your taste!
