Open Faced Pizza Joes

1 1/2 lb Italian sausage
1 medium onion -- chopped
1 green bell pepper -- chopped
4 1/2 ounces sliced mushrooms -- drained
6 ounces tomato paste
15 ounces pizza sauce
9 1/2 ounces frozen herb or cheese Texas Toast
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

In large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Drain. In 3 1/2 to 4 quart slow cooker, combine cooked sausage, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and tomato paste; mix well. Top with pizza sauce. Cover; cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours. About 10 minutes before serving, heat toast as directed on package. Stir sausage mixture. Spoon about 3/4 cup sausage mixture onto each warm toast slice. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese.

If desired, place the assembled pizzas under a broiler for a few minutes to melt and lightly brown the cheese.
