Grilled sausage, peppers and onion pizza

Mike and I used to make this pizza every so often but I completely forgot about it until today. It's really so delicious. I even said aloud while eating it (probably had my mouth full.....)"honey, this is one of the best meals we make!" So I had to share in hopes that you will make this and love it as much as we do.

Grilled sausage, peppers and onions pizza

Marinade:
1/3 cup of olive oil
3 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

Grilled toppings:
½ pound spicy Italian sausage
1 red bell pepper – cut into large pieces length wise so you can grill them.
1 yellow bell pepper – cut into large pieces length wise so you can grill them.
½ yellow onion – cut into large pieces length wise so you can grill them.

Additional ingredients:
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
Boboli thin pizza crust (of course you can use any kind of dough you prefer)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the pizza pan in the oven.
Whisk together all marinade ingredients; set aside.
Grill sausage, peppers and onions while brushing occasionally with the marinade.
Grill sausage until cooked through – usually around 12 minutes.
Grill peppers and onion until slightly charred and crisp-tender – usually 8 minutes.
Transfer all grilled items to a cutting board. Cut sausages into ½ inch pieces and peppers and onions into thin strips.

Sprinkle the pizza crust with ½ of mozzarella and ½ of the parmesan cheeses. Then top with sausage, peppers and onions. Finish by sprinkling the remainder of the cheeses and drizzle entire pizza with the marinade. Be careful not to get too carried away with the marinade on the pizza. You can make it soggy if you use too much. Just drizzle:) Then bake for 12 minutes until cheeses are melted and crust is golden brown.

P.S. the amount of grilled items this recipe calls for probably gives you enough toppings for 2 pizzas. We just make 1 but save the rest of them and eat them as sausage sandwiches or even have another pizza the next night. Oh, and substitute spicy turkey sausage if you are interested. It's delish!

Enjoy!
