Gluten Free Pizza!



Pizza was a thing of the past in my house. My husband hated the gluten free pizza crusts I tried, they were either soggy or crumbled into pieces. He didn't want to order a pie from the pizzeria just for himself, so we just stopped having pizza. If I craved it, I ate it for lunch. I really like the frozen gluten free 3 Cheese Pizza from Trader Joe's.

One day, when I was looking for this frozen pizza, I saw that Trader Joe's had a new item-Frozen Gluten Free Pizza Crust!!

I had to try it. They come 2 in a package and are about 12 inches across. They fit nicely on a pizza pan. You defrost the crust for 15 minutes, add your sauce cheese and toppings, and bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. The crust is  actually crispy and doesn't fall apart! You can reheat it and it still doesn't fall apart. Pizza is back on the menu in our house-my husband and kids loved it!



Sausage and Peppers Pizza

2 Trader Joe's Gluten Free Pizza Crusts
1 jar Pizza Sauce (Trader Joe's has a good one, I also like Victoria brand, no sugar or preservatives added!)
5 Italian sausage link, remove the meat from the casings
16 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 red and 1 yellow pepper, sliced into thin half moons
1 small onion, sliced into thin half moons
Oregano
Salt/Pepper
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Defrost Pizza Crusts for 15 minutes. Place on well oiled pizza pan. (Be sure you gave covered the whole pan with a little olive oil, otherwise the pizza will stick)
Chop onions and peppers. Saute in a little olive oil until soft. Season with salt and pepper.Set aside.
Remove sausage meat from casings. Saute until browned, breaking it apart into small pieces.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the crust. Too much will make it soggy.
Cover with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella.
Spread the sausage, peppers and onions evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle with oregano.
Bake at 425 degrees until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese is bubbling.
