Note

The original recipe suggests using about 1/4 of the cheddar and the rest mozzarella for the best texture.

While the title says "Dietetic," the author notes "to heck with the diet" regarding the amount of sauce and cheese, suggesting you use the whole can of sauce and plenty of cheese for maximum satisfaction.

A cookie sheet is recommended as the small crust mix package typically covers just that size.

The author mentions preferring provolone cheese for flavor, though mozzarella is traditional for melt and texture.
