Pizza Crust -- prepared as directed
12 ounces mozzarella cheese -- grated
1/4 pound Italian sausage -- browned
1/4 pound ground beef -- browned
1/4 cup onion -- chopped and saut�ed
2 ounces pepperoni slices
1 1/2 cups Marinara Sauce -- prepared as directed
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese -- freshly grated
salt -- to taste Recipe
To assemble: prepare Pizza Crust as directed.� Spray pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Gently stretch Pizza Crust to fit pan, forming raised edge at lip. Sprinkle crust with grated mozzarella cheese.� Dot with browned sausage, ground beef, pepperoni and chopped and saut�ed onion. Gently spread Marinara Sauce to cover cheese and toppings. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and salt to taste.
To freeze: flash freeze pizza in pan. When frozen, wrap in aluminum foil.
To prepare: do not thaw pizza. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake frozen pizza for 20 to 25 minutes, until crust is browned, sauce bubbles and cheese is fully melted.
NOTES : This tried-and-true method preserves a fresh, crisp crust even through the freezing process! The secret's in the cheese; when applied to the crust before any toppings or sauce, the cheese seals the crust against the moisture in the sauce. Do not thaw before baking!
