Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage Base

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Lou's lean sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    Once the sausage is cooked, drain any excess fat. Spread the cooked sausage evenly in a greased 9-inch pie dish or baking pan. Pour the vine-ripened tomato sauce over the sausage, spreading it evenly.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Then, sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper on top to taste.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your crustless pizza!
