Recipe: Ratatouille Pizza (using biscuit mix for crust)

RATATOUILLE PIZZA

1 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/3 cup very hot water
1 cup Italian Style chunky tomato sauce
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 small yellow summer squash, cut lengthwise into quarters, then cut crosswise into slices
