Cowboy Pizza
Description
This is a copycat recipe of Papa Murphy's® cowboy pizza—it is filling and very hearty with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, and three different cheeses.
Ingredients
•
8 ounces mild Italian sausage
•
1 teaspoon olive oil
•
1 12-inch size Italian pizza crust
•
1 cup prepared pizza sauce
•
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
•
25 pepperoni slices
•
3 large button mushrooms, sliced
•
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
•
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
•
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
•
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
•
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (210 degrees C).
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook Italian sausage until browned, breaking it up into fine crumbles, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain extra grease if necessary.
3
Brush olive oil over pizza crust. Spread pizza sauce over crust and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
4
Evenly distribute pepperoni slices, mushroom slices, Italian sausage, and olive slices in that order over the mozzarella.
5
In a small bowl combine Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, and oregano. Top the pizza with this mixture.
6
Place pizza on a pizza pan and bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 14 minutes. For a crispier crust, bake pizza directly on the oven rack.
