Sausage-Pepper Pizza

Ingredients

• 2 cups presliced mushrooms
• 1 cup thinly sliced onion
• 1 cup red bell pepper strips
• 1 cup green bell pepper strips
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 6 ounces chicken and sun-dried tomato sausage (such as Gerhard's), cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• 1 (10-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
• Cooking spray
• 1/2 cup commercial pizza sauce
• 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add first 9 ingredients; cook 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid almost evaporates. Remove mixture from heat, and set aside.
3. Unroll dough, and press into a 12-inch pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 7 minutes or until crust just begins to brown. Spread pizza sauce evenly over crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border; top with sausage mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 425° for 8 minutes or until crust is golden.
