Loaded Pizza Stew
Loaded Pizza Stew has all of the things you love about a hot, fresh pizza and all of the love and comfort of a soup.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 lb bulk Italian sausage
- 1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
- 1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
- 3 c beef broth
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 tsp marjoram
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 oz pepperoni slices
- 1 c sliced fresh button mushrooms
- 1 can (2 oz.) sliced black olives (drained), or ⅓ cup sliced fresh olives
For Serving
- shredded Parmesan cheese
- crackers, optional
Instructions
- To begin, cook the diced onion, diced green bell pepper and Italian sausage together in a Dutch oven over medium heat. As the meat cooks, break it up with your spoon.
- When the meat is browned and the onion & pepper are tender, (about 5 minutes) drain off any excess grease if necessary.
- Add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, basil, marjoram, oregano, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir these all together.
- Bring this to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add in the mushrooms, pepperoni and olives. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until the mushrooms are just tender.
- Serve the stew with shredded Parmesan (or mozzarella) cheese, and crackers.
- Enjoy!
Notes
If you are making this for little kids, you can leave out the red pepper flakes if you feel it will be too spicy for them.
