Serves 6 (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients:
12 ounces mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups Sonoma Farm Marinara Sauce 
1 (5-oz.) pkg. mini pepperoni
1 (14.5-oz.) pkg. refrigerated piecrusts
8 ounces whole-milk mozzarella, shredded (about 2 cups), divided
8 (0.75-oz.) provolone cheese slices, divided
1 large egg, beaten

How to Make It:

Step 1
Place oven rack on bottom third of oven, and preheat to 425°F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage, and cook, stirring often, until crumbled and browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
Step 2
Add onion and bell pepper to skillet over medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until tender and blistered, about 6minutes. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in marinara sauce, pepperoni, and cooked sausage. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Press 1 piecrust in a 9-inch pie plate, allowing excess to hang over the sides. Spoon 2 cups of the sausage mixture into piecrust. Top with 1 cup of the mozzarella, and 4 slices of the provolone. Repeat with remaining sausage mixture, mozzarella, and provolone.
Step 4
Place second piecrust over top, curling over and encasing top edges of bottom crust. Crimp edges, and cut 3 slits in top crust. Brush with egg. Bake in preheated oven on lower rack until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil; continue to bake until bottom crust is golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
