Naga "Western" Pizza

I call this a Western style pizza because of the ingredients: Hardwood smoked hot sausage from Idaho, mushrooms, onions, Anaheim peppers instead of Bell, and both Mozz & Cheddar cheeses.

Precooked the sausage for a few minutes since I don't like messing around with pork and temps.

Crust was a premade, but it wouldn't come out of the container right and so got re-kneeded and streched to shape.

Added a 50/50 mix of my pizza sauce and Nova's Naga Puree. (the one he said to use for making a sauce....it's just nagas, apple vinegar, and salt....HOT!)

Sprinkled with parm and mexican oregano also.

Sprinkled with a bit of shredded Mozz. Then, I added all the toppings and sprinkled with chile powder and S&P.

Then, more Mozz and put into my ancient oven on 400F (it runs hot) for about 18-20 mins until done.

Decided it wasn't cheesy enough, plus the smoked sausage was really strong....so added some of the cheddar and put it back in the still-hot oven to melt a bit.

Tadaaa!

Actually, the way I layered the toppings was intentional...onions tend to cook waaaay down. As you see in the finished pizza, ya can hardly find an onion because they cooked down a lot.

The most tender stuff like the thinly sliced chiles and mushrooms {layered alternatly} went on bottom, the sausage and onions on top wiht minimal mozz at first so it could all cook at a good rate together.

Mushrooms wern't complete mush, chiles still have a touch of crispness, sausage was cooked, and the onions got a nice thorough cooking so they'd be sweet and tender. :D

Can't belive how smokey that sausage is...

Combined with the Naga sauce, it's a very flavorful pizza indeed. It DID look prettier bfore I put on the cheddar, but it's good with it on. Mozz has that nice mouth feel and all, but the cheddar gave a nice sharpness to the meltyness.

I kept munching on it while watching the "Iron Maiden: Flight 666" rockumentary...muahaha....

Thanks man, I like 'em too.

Funny thing...those Anaheims were like 2.99/lb...while the Bell's were like 1.00 each... Hmmm.

The Anaheim's are like 4-5" long and about 1.5" wide..and with very few seeds so you really get to use all of the chile. Compared to a Bell Pepper, where you end up cutting 1/2 of it off. Considering that I only used like 1/4 of one pepper for that whole pizza I think they are the better deal. Also great for sammiches, eggs, topping on baked potatos, you name it. :)

Also fun to use cut into strips for dipping in ranch for snackz.
