Crustless Pizza

 

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground sausage, cooked and crumbled

1 C. marinara or pizza sauce

2 C. shredded mozzarella cheese divided

½ green bell pepper sliced

4 oz. mushrooms, sliced

Pepperoni

Additional pizza toppings of your choice

Directions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400F (200C).
2. In a heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat cook and crumble the sausage. 
3. Drain any excess fat. 
4. Stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella and flatten the meat and cheese mixture into a single layer.
5. Spoon the marinara sauce on top of the meat and cheese and spread with a spoon. 
6. Layer your sliced bell peppers and sliced mushrooms. 
7. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
8. Layer the pepperoni (and any other toppings). 
9. Place in already preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and brown around the edges. 

Note:  If you do not have a heavy bottom, oven-safe skillet, a glass casserole dish will work as well.
