Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

To a large, 12 inch, oven safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ground mild Italian sausage, minced garlic and Italian seasoning blend. Cook, and crumble the mild Italian sausage for 6-8 minutes or until browned no pink remains. Remove the skillet from the heat and drain off any excess grease from the skillet.

Spread the cooked sausage into an even layer covering the entire bottom surface of the skillet. Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the layer of cooked mild Italian sausage.

1¼ cups jarred marinara

Add the shredded mozzarella cheese in an even layer over the sausage and pizza sauce.

Top the crustless pizza with the pepperoni slices and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly and lightly golden around the edges. If using additional optional toppings, add them with the pepperoni slices, being careful not to overcrowd the surface area of the crustless pizza before baking.
