Step 1
Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray a large baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Step 2
Wash mushrooms and cut into thick slices. Heat a little olive oil and saute the mushrooms.
Step 3
Heat a little olive oil in another large non-stick pan and start brown the sausage over medium-high heat, turning occasionally to brown on all sides. (If you’re using pre-cooked sausage you can skip this step and just cut sausage before you brown it.)
Step 4
When mushrooms have released their liquid, liquid is evaporated, and mushrooms are lightly browned, transfer mushrooms to the bottom of the baking dish.
Step 5
Trim away stem and seeds of peppers and cut into thick strips.Heat about 2 tsp. more olive oil in the same pan you cooked the mushrooms in and saute peppers over medium high heat just until they’re starting to soften, about 4 minutes. (They will cook more in the oven, so don’t overcook if you prefer them slightly crisp in the finished dish.)
Step 6
Layer the peppers over the mushrooms in the baking dish. Season the peppers and mushrooms with Italian Herb Blend, Spike Seasoning, and black pepper.
Step 7
When the sausage is lightly browned on all sides, remove to a cutting board and let cool enough to slice. Then cut sausage in half lengthwise, cut into thick half-slices, reheat the pan, and brown the sausage again on the cut sides.
Step 8
Layer the browned sausage over the mushrooms and peppers and sprinkle with desired amount of grated mozzarella.
Step 9
Bake about 25 minutes, or until all ingredients are sizzling hot and the cheese is melted and nicely browned.
Step 10
Serve hot.
