Ingredients
- 1 lb ground italian sausage (we used turkey!)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups pizza sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Equipment
- Stove top sauté pan
- 9x13 inch casserole dish
Method
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a saute pan over medium-high heat, brown your sausage meat along with the onion and green pepper. Add in the minced garlic for the last few minutes of cooking. Should you need to, drain any fat from the pan before going to the next step.
- Add in your pizza sauce and mix well.
- Pour meat & sauce mixture into your 9x13 pan, and sprinkle cheese on top in an even layer.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together flour, eggs, milk, oil, salt and Italian seasoning until a pourable batter has formed.
- Pour batter over entire dish, spreading out with the back of a spoon to the edges.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the crust has fully cooked and browned all over.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a minute before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
