Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pizza crust
  • 1 lb. Italian beef sausage Recipe below
  • 1/2 Red bell pepper roasted
  • 10 Brussel sprouts roasted
  • 1/2 Red onion
  • 1 8-oz can Tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp. Pesto
  • 1 16-oz block Mozzarella

Italian Beef Sausage

  • 2 tsp. Thyme
  • 1/4 tsp. Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp. Crushed red pepper

Instructions
 

  • Make the Italian Beef Sausage by seasoning the beef with the Italian spices and brown in skillet. While cooking, break the meat up gently and leave in bigger crumbles. 
  • While the meat is browning preheat the oven to 550. Then prep the veggies by placing the red peppers and Brussel sprouts on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. 
  • Slice the red onion and place in a skillet on low with olive oil to caramelize. 
  • Place the can of tomato sauce in a small saucepan and add your pesto. Let simmer. 
  • Grate the cheese. 
  • Once all toppings are prepped start rolling out your pizza dough, if using a homemade crust, do this by placing cornmeal on your pizza pan so it will not stick. 
  • Once the dough is ready to go, it is time to build your pizza. First, place the sauce on the dough and then top with a layer of cheese. Next, add the veggies and meat evenly over the entire pizza. Lastly, add another layer of cheese to keep all your toppings in place. 
  • Place your pizza in a 550-degree oven and let bake for 30 minutes.
