Then top the dough with shredded Queso Blanco, layer the other ingredients, add tomato, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes in a 12-inch pizza pan or sheet. The irresistible baked pizza smell will bring your family to the kitchen without warning.

Ingredients

• 1 10-ounce package Tropical Dominican Longaniza
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pound prepared pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
• ½ 10-ounce package Tropical Queso Blanco, shredded

Preparation

1. In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned on all sides, turning occasionally. Remove the sausage and set it aside on a plate.
2. In the remaining drippings in the skillet, cook the yellow and green bell peppers and the onion over medium heat until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
3. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the sausage into slices. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan and press the pizza dough into the pan. Brush the dough with olive oil.
4. Arrange half of the shredded cheese over the pizza dough. Top with the sautéed vegetables and sliced sausage. Lay the sliced tomatoes over the vegetables and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
5. Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
