Andouille "Mexican" Pizza

A Taste of YUM!

We have all had a Mexican pizza from the big bell! Well I decided to create my own version because I think I could make it taste much better for half the cost and I was correct.

I decided to create an Andouille Mexican pizza. Why not Andouille sausage? My thoughts exactly!

 This makes two large pizzas.
