Spicy Sausage Pizza

D got the sausage part of this recipe from the blog, Chaos in the Kitchen.

Our version is high in points (30.5), but you probably aren't supposed to eat half the pizza.

The sausage had a good bite. I think onion would be a good addition to the pizza.

Spicy Sausage Pizza

1 C Spicy Sausage (recipe below)
1 12-inch Boboli
3 oz mozzarella
1/2 C Newman's Own Tomato and Basil Sauce
8 oz of sliced mushrooms, sauteed

Make Sausage
Sautee mushrooms. Mix 1 C Sausage into the mushrooms. (I'm not sure what we are doing with the other cup, except picking at it and force-feeding some to Guinness)
Assemble like you would any normal pizza (sauce, mushroom/sausage mix, cheese on Boboli). Bake according to Boboli package directions.

Probably should make 4 servings. Yeah, that won't happen in this house.
2 servings, 30.5 points each.
