Pepperoni and Hot Sausage Pizza

You can’t go wrong with keeping it simple with pepperoni and sausage…especially when it’s Hot Ground sausage being used! I like the Publix brand because it does not contain fennel (I do not like fennel). I cook it on the stove until crispy, then place the sausage on a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up the grease.

I like this pizza best on the Caulipower crust because since it’s just 2 toppings, it gets perfectly crispy on the bottom and the top!

This one is delicious with a little hot honey drizzled on top too!

  It all depends on your pizza crust and how much of each ingredient you are using.
