This post is going to simply be a recipe- but I'm relatively proud of it, because it's my own spin-off of a recipe I've posted on this blog before! The recipe (for my casual readers) was the BBQ chicken pizza. My original plan, upon creating this recipe, was to make THAT- however, I discovered that I hadn't defrosted my ground chicken and decided to use what I had defrosted instead. The recipe below was what followed.
You will need: 2 lbs ground italian sausage (sweet or hot, up to you) 1 cup, 2tbsp of mozzarella cheese (shredded, plus however much you want to put on your pizza) 1 10 oz. brick of frozen spinach 1/2 - 3/4 cup italian-style tomato sauce (I typically use Prego) 1 tbsp butter 1 tsp garlic powder Prep: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large cookie sheet (or pizza pan) with parchment paper, and then grease them. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of mozzarella and the italian sausage until they're well-combined. Then, spread this mixture out across the greased pan until it fills out the pan and is an even crust. You'll want to cook this crust for about 25 minutes to ensure that it cooks all the way through. Be sure that you have a clean oven, since the sausage is incredibly oily and does sputter as it cooks. You don't want a fire starting. While the crust cooks, put your spinach brick into a bowl and microwave it for 7 minutes. Once it's done, drain your spinach and add the remaining 2 tbsp of mozzarella, butter, and garlic powder. Mix the spinach. This will be the first layer of your pizza. Once your crust is cooked, drain it of oil and then add your spinach layer. I added a layer of mozzarella on top of the spinach, but it's completely optional. Next, spread out your tomato sauce and finally add however much shredded mozzarella you'd like on top of your pizza. I use anywhere from 2-3 cups, but in my opinion you can never have too much cheese, so add as much as you usually enjoy. Finally, broil the pizza until the cheese is melted and then enjoy! This pizza actually got a better review from my family than the BBQ chicken pizza that I altered the recipe from- so please let me know your opinion if you make it! - Maddie
