Kale and Sausage Pizza
Pizza with white sauce, sausage, onion and kale.
Servings: 8 Slices
Ingredients
- ½ lbs Ground Pork Sausage
- ½ White Onion diced
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 2 Cups Half-n-half
- 2 Cups Kale torn into bite sized pieces
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 8 oz Mozzarella shredded
- 1 Pizza Dough Favorite Store Bought
Instructions
- Brown the pork sausage on med-high heat for approximately 7 to 9 minutes. Add white onion and cook for a couple minutes.Remove pork sausage and onion mixture from pan using a slotted spoon to reserve as much of the fat from the sausage in the pan. Set sausage and onion aside for later use.
- Add butter to the pan with residual fat from the sausage. Stir in flour and cook for a couple minutes. Then slowly pour in half-n-half. Be sure to continually stir as you are adding the half-n-half, otherwise your sauce may end up lumpy. Cook for a few minutes until sauce thickens.
- Roll out pizza dough as directed per the package. Evenly spread 1/2 a cup to 3/4 of a cup of the sauce on the dough. Evenly spread/sprinkle mozzarella cheese, sausage and onion mixture on dough.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- While pizza bakes, clean kale and tear into bite size pieces. Dress kale with Olive Oil. I usually add the kale to a zip-lock bag and shake it up.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and top with kale. Keep in mind that the kale will shrink so it will look like a lot of kale. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Place pizza back into the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. You want the kale to be nice and crisp and still green, not browned. Browned is burnt, so watch it carefully.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before cutting.
