For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the meat sauce. Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking! Add mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, or any other favorite pizza toppings. If you don't have Italian sausage on hand, you can substitute with ground turkey or chicken. To prevent the crust from sticking, grease the baking dish before adding the meat sauce.
