1 green bell pepper, diced

Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray. -
Cook Sausage and Vegetables
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Add the sliced onion, diced green bell pepper, and mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the pizza sauce until well combined. -
Assemble the Pie

Add Crescent Roll Dough
Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and arrange it over the filling, sealing any gaps. -
Bake
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked. -
Serve
Let the Pizza Pot Pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the savory, cheesy goodness!
