Made this a couple of times now. The whole family loves it and periodically requests it again. I make as directed with 2 exceptions. I have an old favorite recipe for a quick homemade pizza dough, and I use a small can of mushrooms, drained, and chop them with the onion in my mini-food processor. In step 3, I spread my mixture over the pizza in little sausage-like lumps. I originally came up with the "mock-sausage" for my daughter who doesn't like the texture of mushrooms, but it's really good. Everyone loves it this way. Thanks wildheart for a new standard.

This was great! I used one of those Boboli pizza crusts and added some sliced tomatoes to the top. Yummy!

My wife cooked this exactly as written, except that I asked her to add about 6 leaves of fresh basil(chopped) from the first yield in my garden. Doggone good recipe! I loved it, and so did my daughter. My wife is biased against tomato-less pizza and didn't try it...yet.
