New & Improved Sausage-Pepper Pizza

What You Will Need: Grilled sausage (I used johnsonville original brats), corn meal, bell peppers, garlic, butter, pepper jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, whole or diced tomatoes & pizza dough. Parmesan & fresh basil for garnish not pictured. 

Preheat your oven according to the pizza directions, mine is 425.


In a skillet, start sautéing the bell peppers in some butter or olive oil, salt & pepper. Cook for 5-8 minutes till tender but not mush. 


In a small bowl, place a couple of pads of butter with the minced garlic. Place in the microwave for 30-40 seconds until the butter has completely melted. 


On a baking sheet, sprinkle with the corn meal & roll out your pizza dough.


Brush the garlic butter all over!


Par bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes. 


Add the diced tomatoes. You don't want a ton, just a light layer. Salt/Pepper. 


Sautéed peppers & half of the sausage go on next. 


Shredded pepper jack & mozzarella cheese. 


Then another layer of the peppers & sausage. You want the peppers & sausage to be the star, not hidden underneath a pile of cheese. 

Place the pizza back into the oven till the crust is golden brown & the cheese is all melted. 


Garnish with plenty of parmesan cheese & torn basil. 


My wine pairing for this super delicious pizza in a Cabernet Sauvignon called Josh by Josh Cellars. Which just happens to be my favorite wine of all time! They also have a nice Chardonnay called Josh that is a good choice if your a white wine drinker.   


Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
