Pizza Stir-Fry

I came up with this recipe a few months ago, and it has quickly become a staple meal in our household.  It's low carb and grain free.  I make it at least every other week.  It is my husband's favorite meal, and he asks for it frequently.  Even our picky daughter eats it happily with no complaints.  And I must admit, it's to die for. 
I saw a recipe on another blog for pizza stir fry sometime last year.  I tried it, and frankly I did not like it.  Then months later, the thought crossed my mind again and I realized how I could make it better.  When I say it's unbelievably good, I'm not just saying it.  I literally could not believe how good it was.  Here is my recipe. 
 
Pizza Stir-Fry
2 6 oz boxes breakfast sausage links, cut up into small pieces
1/2 package pepperoni, cut up into small pieces
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup organic pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Coconut oil
 
Start by melting a healthy amount of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the peppers and onions and cook for 3-5 minutes.  Add the sausage and pepperoni and stir-fry until heated through.  Add pizza sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.  Dish up and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
 
(If you don't have one of these I highly recommend getting one.  Not just for this recipe, but if you ever chop vegetables for stir fries, casseroles, crock pot freezer meals, or anything, this is a HUGE time saver.  It also can chop meat, cheese, etc.  But I don't need to go on and on about it, these babies sell themselves.)
 
Oh, and the good thing about this recipe is that you don't have to follow it exactly.  You can use a little more or a little less of any of the ingredients, and you can add or subtract things to your liking.  If you like mushrooms on pizza, you can add mushrooms, and so on, and so on.  I promise you won't even miss the bread.
