Sausage, Bell Pepper and Mushroom Pizza
I took a classic pizza combo - sausage, bell pepper and mushrooms - and switched it up with a super easy crust that is D-lish! Wait till you see the secret ingredient...
Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 shallots peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper cored, seeded and diced
- 4 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 2 links Italian sausage mild
- 1 recipe whole-grain pizza dough I used 2 boxes of Simple Mills Pizza Dough
- 1 can pizza sauce
- 1 8 ounce package mozzarella cheese shredded or sliced
- parmesan cheese freshly grated, for serving
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, green peppers and mushrooms and cook until the veggies begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Take the casing off the sausage and discard. Add the sausage to the pan and break it up with the spatula. Cook until done all the way through (no longer pink), about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Roll out your pizza dough of choice (try my homemade recipe or follow the Simple Mills box instructions - I used 2 boxes) and top with a thin layer of pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and then the sausage mixture. Bake according to pizza dough directions, top with freshly grated parmesan cheese, slice and serve.
