Pizza!!!!! (electric skillet)

10 oz of mozzarella cheese
1/4 pound italian sausage
*Prepared pizza dough
5 tablespoons of pizza sauce (I mix tomato paste with tomato sauce and add garlic, basal, and oregano with a pinch of sugar. Then save the rest for when I make personal pizza in the 9" skillet- recipe is posted)
10 slices of pepperoni

**** Of course you can use veggies like peppers, onions, tomato slices, olives, etc. in place of sausage and pepperoni. This will reduce the calories significantly as well as the sodium! I would suggest this.

Process cheese using the #1 or #2 cone.
Preheat electric skillet to 325 degrees. Add sausage; cook til no longer pink; remove and drain and discard fat from skillet; set aside. Let skillet cool.
Place dough in bottom of skillet, shape to fit pan. Spread pizza sauce over dough, top with cheese and evenly distribute sausage and pepperoni over cheese. Cover and cook 10 minutes at 325 degrees. Turn off skillet and let stand, covered, 10-15 minutes. DO NOT LIFT COVER.

(when I first made this, I did not prepare the dough first; I did not bake it; so what I eventually did was bake it in the electric skillet after I realized that I needed to make the dough first, not just mix the ingredients together, with some non-stick spray. Made the sausage in a skillet on the stove to save time by not waiting to use the electric skillet. Then, with the prepared dough, made the pizza :)    It was SOOOO good.)
