How to Make Italian Sausage Onion Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, cook 1 lb Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently.
  3. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in 1/2 cup pizza sauce.
  5. Spread the sausage and onion mixture evenly over a 12-inch pre-made pizza crust.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup French fried onions over the sausage and onion mixture.
  7. Place the pizza on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving. Enjoy!
