RECIPE BACKSTORY
This recipe is super easy to make and is so good! I did make a few substitutions when I made it: Italian seasoning for the rosemary, sausage for the ground sirloin, and store bought pizza crust for the dough. I also ommited the onion, parsley and oregano and added crushed red pepper.
