A great idea for that upcoming Super Bowl party!

PIZZA ON A STICK

Serves: 5 | Difficulty Level: 1 (of 5) | Prep Time: 20 Minutes | Ready In: 30 Minutes

 
INGREDIENTS:

• 8 ounces Italian sausage links
• 2 cups whole fresh mushrooms
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 30 slices pepperoni (about 2 ounces)
• 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
• 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1-1/4 cups pizza sauce, warmed

 
PROCEDURE:

• In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
• When cool enough to handle, cut sausage into 20 pieces.
• On 10 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the sausage, vegetables and pepperoni.
• Unroll pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface; cut widthwise into 1-in.-wide strips.
• Starting at the pointed end of a prepared skewer, pierce skewer through one end of dough strip and press dough against last ingredients on the skewer.
• Spiral-wrap dough strip around skewer, allowing vegetables and meats to peek through. Wrap the remaining end of dough strip around skewer above the first ingredient.
• Repeat with remaining dough strips and prepared skewers.
• Arrange kabobs on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
• Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are tender and pizza crust is golden. Immediately sprinkle with cheese. Serve with pizza sauce.

 
For a healthier version, you can substitute turkey sausage or turkey pepperoni, or use whole wheat pizza dough.

Enjoy the game,
