The request for dinner tonight was homemade pizza! It is one of my favorites and very easy to put together. I also tried out a new crust recipe and it was a hit as well!

Ingredients:

Homemade pizza crust
Hot Italian Sausage (one package)
1 yellow onion, diced
1 sweet pepper, diced
3 cloves of garlic
red pepper flakes
4 tomatoes, sliced
pepperoni, slices
2 cups of mozzarella, grated
1 cup of mild cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup of mushrooms, optional

Directions:

Sauté the onions, pepper and garlic. Remove the casing from the sausage and add to the sauteed mixture, cook until done.

Take your pre-baked crust and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Next line the crust with the tomatoes and lightly salt them. Cover sparingly with half of the mozzarella cheese. Next add half of the pepperoni slices (however many you would like) and mushrooms and cover with the cheddar cheese. Add the sausage mixture and more pepperoni slices. Next cover with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Slide the pizza out onto a hard surface, cut and serve hot!

You can use any toppings you like - these are our favorites!
