Italian Sausage Pizza
Created by Jenn's Food Journey
Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 lbs Italian sausage, casings removed if necessary
1 yellow sweet pepper, chopped
2 oz black olives, sliced or chopped
1/2 cup pizza sauce, store bought or homemade
Pizza dough (I used Pillsbury classic crust)
2 cups mozzarella cheese
Directions:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until it is no longer pink and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Add the yellow peppers and cook another 3 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and allow to cool just a bit.
Preheat oven according to dough instructions. On a greased cookie sheet, stretch out the dough (mine fit nicely on a 15"x10" cookie sheet). Spread the sauce evenly over the dough. Top with cooked sausage and peppers. Add the black olives and cover with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove from oven, slice, and enjoy!

Sometimes I debate posting the really simple recipes; but ya know, we all need reminders that it's okay to use shortcuts to make a great meal. We also need inspiration, and this is sure it! It's so easy to get caught up in trying to find something new and novel that we forget the beauty of PIZZA - great lunch, dinner or breakfast ... :)
Simple is good - looks delicious
I agree, while it may use 'cheater' ingredients, who cares! I've never tried that kind of pizza dough, thinking I might have to stash a tube in the fridge for those lazy nights. They happen often after all :) The pizza looks great!!
Sometimes the easiest recipes are the best... this pizza looks fantastic to me! Happy New Year!
A nice, easy, and delicious recipe! We all need to have some of these up our sleeve for that 'need something involving protein - quick' emergency! (you know, the kind of thing that would otherwise find me eating chocolate chips right out of the bag!)
I know it sounds weird, but I feel kind of virtuous when I throw something together quickly (even using shortcuts like this) versus picking up the phone and ordering in. But then again - now and then that's just what the doctor ordered too. Looks great Jenn!
nothing wrong with simple... and in fact I was given THE best present for Christmas this year, which was a Star Trek Enterprise Pizza Cutter, so I need to make pizza and this is a perfect place to start ... Happy New Year x
I could go for a big, fat slice right now! I'm instantly craving this with all my favorite toppings!
This is my kind of pie. You've kept it "underdressed" and I love that. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and that 2012 brings only good things your way. Blessings...Mary
I did several Pilsbury dough pizzas over the holidays. I scorched the seasoning off my pizza stone and had to do several cooks to rebuild the seasoning of the stone. I wasn't about to risk making homemade dough when I didn't know how it would turn out on the stone. I was actually pleased with it.
I love these kinds of meals...and Pilsbury crust always turn out good...
ps...dinner tonight was burgers with Jojo potatoes...they were a little work, but turned out good.
Oh geez, I somehow avoid posting shortcuts, I'm not sure why... Sausage is my favourite topping of all time.
sorry I've been MIA Jenn! Happy New year! This pizza has my tummy growling something fierce!!! Love it!
