Pizza TROMZONI. Homemade Italian Sausage. Pepperoni, Cheese, Cheese and more Cheese. Yes, PLEASE!!!

OMGosh..... this Tromzoni is DELICIOUS! Homemade Italian Sausage? Yes please. Super easy, tasty, and healthy. Yes, you can make homemade Italian sausage. You don't have to raise pigs or even grind pork, just buy a good quality ground pork and you can make an excellent sausage. This pizza Tromzoni is one of my top favorites, but honestly, I think I've said that about every version of Tromzoni I've made. Please forgive the poor camera placement, this is one of the first videos I recorded in our new home and it shows. Also, I know I need a microphone.... I'm working on it!!! Thanks for watching, and we really appreciate your subscription. You are a blessing to us.
