Sausage and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned pork mixture and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Pizza Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, combine the canned crushed tomatoes and dried oregano. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Assemble

    Spread the homemade pizza sauce over a pizza crust or in a baking dish. Top with the cooked sausage and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the assembled pizza for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
