Sausage & Gorgonzola Pizza

*I found this recipe here. The flavor of Gorgonzola is too strong for Dad, so I only use a minimal amount.

Ingredients

3 Sausages, casings removed
1 Pizza Crust
1 1/4 C Pizza Sauce
6 Oz Shredded Mozzarella (Trader Joe's & Safeway have affordable, organic mozzarella)
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
2-4 Oz Gorgonzola Cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup black olives, halved
4 thin rounds Green Bell Pepper, halved

Directions

1. Saute sausage in large skillet over medium-high heat until just cooked through, breaking into 1/2-inch pieces with back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Drain off fat; set sausage aside.

2. Place pizza crust on pizza stone. Spread sauce over crust; add cheese and toppings.

3. Bake pizza in 425 degree oven until crust is crisp and topping is heated through, about 13 minutes.

Mom Tips

Pizzas are great for making ahead and popping in the oven when you're ready. They refrigerate and freeze easily.

Buy organic bell peppers in bulk when they're in season, slice, and freeze them so you can enjoy them on your pizzas all winter long.
