Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Thin Crust Pizza Crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 lb mild Italian sausage
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (8 oz) sliced mushrooms
1 cup Muir Glen™ organic pizza sauce (from 15-oz can)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. Do not unroll dough; cut rolled dough into 12 pieces; place in muffin cups. Let rest 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage; cook 5 to 6 minutes or until no longer pink. Using slotted spoon, transfer to small bowl.
  • Add onion and salt to oil in skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until softened. Add mushrooms; increase heat to medium-high, and cook 4 to 6 minutes longer or until mushrooms release liquid and brown. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in cooked sausage and 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce. Cool 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the cheese.
  • Meanwhile, press pizza dough into cups, pressing firmly up sides. Divide sausage mixture evenly among cups.
  • Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until crusts are browned and cooked through. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Let stand 1 minute. Run knife around outside of each cup. Warm remaining 1/2 cup pizza sauce, and serve with cups. Top with basil.

I thought the pizzas were a bit too salty. I would recommend using less salt in the sauce.

These pizzas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use a lighter cheese.
