Chicago Deep-Dish Sausage Pizza


Ingredients
1 lb bulk Italian pork sausage
1⁄2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (3 oz)
1 can (8 oz) pizza sauce
1 can (13.8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated classic pizza crust
1 1⁄2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 oz)
2 medium plum (Roma) tomatoes, chopped
1⁄4 cup sliced ripe olives, if desired
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (2 medium)

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch square pan with cooking spray. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage and bell pepper over medium-high heat 7 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until sausage is no longer pink. Stir in mushrooms and pizza sauce. Keep warm over low heat.

2. Unroll dough; place in pan. Starting at center, press out dough to edges of pan, pressing up and at least 1 inch up sides, folding edge under to form crust. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese evenly in bottom of crust. Spoon hot sausage mixture over cheese. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese, the tomatoes and olives.

3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with onions. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
