How to Make Grilled Sausage & Pepper Pizza
-
Grill sausage over medium heat 20 minutes or until cooked through, turning occasionally. Grill peppers and onions 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp, turning occasionally. Sprinkle sausage and vegetables with 1 teaspoon of the Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning while grilling. Cut sausage into thin slices. Cut vegetables into bite-size pieces. Mix tomato sauce and the remaining 1 teaspoon Seasoning.
-
Stretch or roll dough on a floured baking sheet to a 12- to 14-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Brush top of the dough with oil. Place oiled side down on the grill. Close lid. Grill over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes or until grill marks appears on the bottom of the crust. Carefully flip the crust over using tongs or spatula.
-
Spread seasoned tomato sauce on crust. Layer with 1/2 of the cheese, grilled sausage, vegetables, and remaining cheese. Close lid. Grill 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and crust is browned. (Check pizza often to avoid burning. Rotate pizza, if necessary.)
Slide pizza onto a baking sheet. Slice and serve immediately. Sprinkle with additional Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning, if desired.
