Bee Sting Pizza

Serves: 4 | Prep: 20 min. | Cook: 18 min. | Total: 38 min.

Ingredients: 1 lb. hot breakfast sausage | 1 pkg refrigerated pizza dough | 4 Tbsp. butter, melted | 1 ½ Tbsp. garlic powder | 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated | ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated | ¼ cup honey | 1-2 Tbsp. red pepper flakes

Directions: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium/high heat. Add sausage and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until completely browned, crumbling as you cook. Heat oven to 400° while the beef is browning, and prebake pizza crust for 8 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage from heat, drain fat and set aside. Set crust aside once prebaked and prepare toppings. Melt butter and stir in garlic powder. Brush mixture lightly over crust, edge to edge. Top with mozzarella cheese, sausage, and parmesan cheese. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown. Remove from oven. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of honey and top with 1 to 2 Tbsp. red pepper flakes.

Tips & Tricks: You can add sliced pickled jalapeños to this pizza for even more “sting.”
