Who loves a good sausage pizza?

Making your own homemade pizza sausage at home is very affordable. I found a pound of breakfast sausage on sale for $1.99. I combined it with spices I had stocked in my kitchen and made it into delicious homemade sausage for pizza (or breakfast). This yielded enough for several pizzas (7 or 8).

I usually make a big batch and freeze the sausage in small portions so they’re ready to take out and use. Dinner prep couldn’t be easier!

This Sausage Can Also Be Used:

To Make The Pizza Pictured Below:

Top a pre-made crust (I buy mine at ALDI) with the following in order:

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup cooked homemade pizza sausage (recipe below)

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 420F. Remove from oven, top with chopped green onion and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Pro tip: This homemade pizza sausage goes great on deep dish pizza!
