Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Italian-Style Beef Sausage (see the link to the recipe below)
  • 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce
  • 4 round thin sandwich breads, any variety, split
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • TOPPINGS (Optional)
  • Sliced black or green olives, sliced red or yellow bell peppers or sliced red onions
  • ITALIAN-STYLE BEEF SAUSAGE
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon corriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Directions

  1. Prepare Italian-Style Beef Sausage. Stir in pizza sauce; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through, stirring frequently. Keep warm and set aside.

    Italian-Style Beef Sausage: Combine 1 pound Ground Beef, 1 teaspoon fennel seed, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon coriander, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage mixture; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally.

    Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

  2. Place sandwich thins, cut sides up, on rack of broiler pan. Spoon equal amounts of sausage mixture on each bread half. Evenly sprinkle with cheese and toppings, as desired.
  3. Place pizzas on rack of broiler pan so surface of cheese is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 4 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
