Directions

- 3Lightly sprinkle Dan-O’s Butter Dust into the oiled pan.
- 4Sprinkle 1 tbsp of Dan-O’s Ranch Cheesoning into the oiled pan.
- 5Brown the Italian sausage in a skillet until fully cooked, then drain excess fat and set aside.

- 15Give the pizza a final dusting of Dan-O’s Ranch Cheesoning.
- 16Place the skillet on the stovetop over high heat for about 3 minutes to crisp the bottom crust, until the oil starts bubbling around the edges.
- 17Transfer the skillet to your preheated 400°F oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- 18Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
