Hot, fresh, cheesy and homemade in less than 30 min!! It just doesn’t get any easier, quicker or tastier, right?!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
  • ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 13.8-ounce can refrigerated classic pizza crust

  • ½ cup sliced pepperoni
  • 8 1-ounce slices fresh mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.
