Sweet Onion Pork Pizza

From Every Day with Rachael Ray March 2008

2 Tbsp vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper
One 16oz package frozen pizza dough, thawed
½ C barbecue sauce
½ C canned tomato sauce with Italian herbs
8oz pepper jack cheese, shredded
6-8 leftover baby back ribs, meat shredded and bones discarded (about 1 cup meat)
2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into thin rings

In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring constantly, until softened and brown, 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
Invert a large baking sheet and place it on a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat the oven to 500. Place a second inverted baking sheet on a work surface and cover with parchment paper. Stretch the pizza dough to fit the parchment, then brush with oil.
In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce and tomato sauces. Spread the sauce over the dough, leaving a ¾” border. Top with the cheese, shredded meat, bell peppers and caramelized onions.
Slide the pizza and parchment paper onto the preheated baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
