Upside-Down Pizza Pot Pie Recipe

Upside-Down Pizza Pot Pie Recipe

  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links, casings removed
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, or more to taste
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough (such as Pillsbury®)
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the insides of 4 ramekins.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook and stir until vegetables are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in pizza sauce and simmer until flavors have blended, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese into sausage mixture.
  3. Spoon 1/4 the sausage mixture into each prepared ramekin; top each with 1/4 the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  4. Roll out the crescent roll dough; cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Cover each ramekin with 1/4 the crescent roll dough, wrapping the dough around the edges to seal in the fillings. Arrange the pot pies on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until dough is light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
