Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms, I like to gather all my ingredients and begin cooking the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. I break it apart as it cooks until it’s nicely browned and fully cooked. Then, I drain the excess grease and mix in the pizza sauce, letting it simmer for a few minutes. The aroma that fills my kitchen is just heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
