DEEP DISH CHICAGO PIZZA 
1 lb. hot Italian sausage
1 lg. red pepper, sliced (about 1 1/4 c.)
1 lg. green bell pepper, sliced (about 1 1/4 c.)
1 c. (4 oz.) fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 (15 1/2 oz.) jar pizza sauce
1 (16 oz.) pkg. hot roll mix
1 (8 oz.) pkg. Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Using fork, prick each sausage in several places. Cook sausages about 20 minutes in skillet, browning on all sides. Meanwhile, prepare hot-roll mix according to package directions, using 1 cup water but omitting butter and egg. After dough rests 5 minutes, pat evenly over bottom and halfway up sides of greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Set aside. Heat oven to 400 degrees. With slotted spoon, remove sausages from skillet, and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, cut into thin slices, set aside in medium bowl. To drippings in skillet, add peppers and mushrooms. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until crisp-tender. Remove from heat. Add to sausages in bowl along with pizza sauce. Sprinkle half Mozzarella over dough in baking dish; spoon sausage mixture over cheese, top with remaining Mozzarella. Bake 25 minutes until cheese is hot and bubbly and crust is brown and crisp. Makes 8 servings.
