Method: Breakfast
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale

1 Pillsbury pizza crust
1 lb pork sausage (or turkey sausage as substitute)

1 packet Pioneer Country sausage gravy mix
Mozzarella shredded cheese (amount to preference)
Butter (for greasing pan and topping crust)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Butter a large baking pan and spread out the pizza crust evenly on the pan.
Bake the crust for 7-8 minutes until partially cooked.
Prepare the sausage gravy according to the packet instructions: mix gravy packet with cold water, then add to boiling water to avoid lumps.

Remove the crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of butter on top to prevent drying.
Layer the prepared sausage gravy evenly over the crust, avoiding too much to prevent sogginess.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the gravy to your desired cheesiness.
Cook the pork sausage in a skillet until browned and fully cooked, then distribute over the cheese layer.
Optionally, add more shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Allow the pizza to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use pork sausage for authentic flavor, but turkey sausage is a good substitute. Avoid adding too much gravy to keep the crust from becoming soggy. Adjust cheese quantity to your preference for cheesiness.
