Pizza Ring

A lot of these sausage recipes depend on what type and flavor you get. I just grab a tube from the shelf and go with that. I liked this recipe. I don't think it will be a favorite, or even chosen over a regular pizza, but it would be good for a party.

• 1 lb bulk Italian sausage
• 1 can (15 oz) pizza sauce, divided
• 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
• 4 oz Canadian bacon, chopped
• 2 tubes (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls

Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in 1/2 cup pizza sauce, 1 cup cheese, and Canadian bacon.

Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. On an ungreased 14-inch pizza pan, arrange triangles in a ring with points toward the outside and wide ends overlapping at the center, leaving a 4 inch opening. Press overlapping dough to seal. 

Spoon sausage mixture onto wide end of triangles. Fold pointed end of triangles over filling, tucking points under to form a ring (filling will be visible). Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with remaining pizza sauce.
