Ingredients

1 lb Bulk Italian pork sausage

1/2 cup Chopped green bell pepper

1 cup Sliced fresh mushrooms

1 can (8 oz) pizza sauce

1 can (13.8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated 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 glass pie plate with cooking spray. Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage and bell pepper in skillet 7 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until sausage is no longer pink. Stir in mushrooms and pizza sauce. Keep warm over low heat.

3 . Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with onions. Let stand 5 minutes. To serve, cut pizza into wedges with serrated knife.
