Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 pound ground beef or Italian sausage

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup sugar-free marinara sauce

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

1/4 cup sliced black olives

1/4 cup diced bell peppers

1/4 cup pepperoni slices (or turkey pepperoni)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add your ground beef or sausage and cook until fully browned, using a spatula to break it apart into small pieces. Drain off any leftover grease.

Add Seasonings: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to coat the meat evenly and cook for about a minute more to bring out the flavors.

Build Your Bowls: Set your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C). Divide the cooked meat between oven-safe bowls or ramekins. Spoon marinara sauce over the meat in each bowl.

Layer on Toppings: Cover the meat and sauce with shredded mozzarella. Add the mushrooms, black olives, bell peppers, and pepperoni slices. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Bake: Place the bowls in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling on top.

Finish and Serve: Carefully take the bowls out of the oven. Add a sprinkle of chopped basil or parsley for a fresh touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy, crustless pizza creation!
