Colby/Jack, Sausage & Bacon Pizza

Well, pizza is not the most original recipe I have come up with. This one however, is not your typical pizza. Why? Well, there is no mozzarella in sight. Instead, I used a Colby/Jack cheese blend to give it a little WOW! factor along with my other toppings.

Ingredients:

1 Pillsbury pizza crust

1 cup of pasta sauce

¼ large white onion, peeled and sliced

½ Green bell pepper, cored and chopped

3 Mild Italian sausages, browned and sliced

5 strips of bacon, cooked and chunky chopped

2 cups Colby/Jack cheese

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

½ tsp dry oregano

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp dry parsley

½ tsp dry basil

3 tbsp olive oil

Non-stick spray

Directions:

1.       Heat oven to 400 degrees

2.      Spray baking sheet with non-stick spray

3.      Place pizza crust on baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes

4.      In a medium fry pan place 1 & ½ tbsp olive oil and cook sausage until brown on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.

5.      Rinse out pan.

6.      Place remaining 1 & ½ tbsp olive oil in fry pan and cook bacon until crisp. Then set aside.

7.      Remove crust from oven.

8.     In a medium sauce pan heat up sauce.

9.      Now, cover crust with 1 to 1 & ½ cups of sauce.

10.  Layer with 1 cup of cheese, onion, bell pepper, sausage, & bacon.

11.   Top with remaining 1 cup of cheese.

12.  Bake for an additional 10 minutes.

13.  Remove and allow cooling for 5 minutes before serving.

Totally scrumptious!! The Colby/Jack cheese is just enough of a change to make it mouth watering and amazing. Hopefully you will agree!
