Grease 6 ramekins. You can use butter, or non stick cooking spray, including the upper lip and down the outside a bit.
Use the mozzarella cheese to completely, generously coat the insides of all 6 ramekins. Add/pack in the sausage, mushrooms, ham, and black olives, if using.
mozzarella cheese, 1 lb ground Italian sausage, 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, 1/2 cup finely chopped ham, thinly sliced black olives
In a small mixing bowl, add the sauce, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir them together to evenly combine. Then pour the mixture out evenly into each ramekin to cover the meat.
1 1/2 cups pizza sauce, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Spread the dough out, and cut into six thick sections. Spread a section out over a ramekin, making sure to cover the outer edges, and pressing the dough against the dish to seal. Repeat to fill & finish each ramekin.
1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
Transfer the ramekins to a sturdy baking sheet. Lightly brush each crust with olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes., or until the crusts are golden brown.
Let the pot pies rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with more seasonings, if desired.
