Deep-Dish Pizza

Ingredients

1 pound hot Italian sausage casings removed
1 medium green bell pepper cut ΒΌ" strips
1 small onion sliced
1 pound store-bought pizza dough
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2
In a large skillet, cook the sausage, pepper, and onion over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until no pink remains in the sausage and the vegetables are tender, stirring constantly; drain. Add the sauce; mix well.
3
Using your fingertips or the heel of your hand, spread the dough so that it covers the bottom of the pan and comes three quarters of the way up the sides. Spread the sausage mixture over the dough, then top with the cheese.
4
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and brown. Cut and serve.

Comments: If you'd rather not have a spicy pizza, go ahead and use a mild or sweet sausage.
