Sausage Artichoke Pizza

I love fancy pizzas! This one is actually very quick and easy because it uses several canned ingredients. It can be made with your favorite pizza dough, or a mix or prepared crust of your choice. I found the chunky canned tomatoes were a nice change from traditional pizza sauce. In the pizza pictured here I used a sun-dried tomato sausage and it was just divine! Slicing the cheese into wide, thin slices instead of shredding it makes the pizza look more gourmet.

2 pizza crusts, or dough for 2 pizzas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (28-ounce) can Italian diced tomatoes (not plain canned tomatoes)
1 large red onion, thinly sliced into rings
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 pound fresh sausage of your choice, squeezed from casing, cooked and drained
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
red pepper flakes (optional)

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place pizza crusts on work surface. Brush all over with olive oil. Top crusts with diced tomatoes, onion, artichoke hearts and sausage. Arrange mozzarella slices on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake 10-15 minutes, until crispy and cheese is bubbly. Serve with red pepper flakes for the people that like an extra kick.

Yield: 8 servings

1 thin, 12-14 inch prepared pizza crust

One 15-oz can refried beans
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 to 1/2 small head lettuce, shredded

If starting from pizza dough, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake crust until light brown, about seven minutes; cool while continuing with recipe. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. If using a pre-cooked pizza preheat the oven to 375 degrees and proceed with recipe.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine taco sauce and refried beans. Mix well; cook until warm, well-blended, and easy to spread, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; spread over pizza crust.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over bean mixture. Bake until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Remove from oven; top with lettuce, tomatoes, and flavored cheese. Serve immediately.
