This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” richness with a professional, “bakery-perfect” cheesy finish.
Ingredients
• The “Magic” Base: 4 cups Roasted Cauliflower Florets or 1 lb Cooked Ground Beef/Turkey (the “secret” to a flourless, “wow” deep-dish foundation).
• The Meat Lover’s Mix: 1/2 cup Pepperoni (sugar-free), 1/2 cup Italian Sausage (crumbled), and 1/4 cup Bacon bits.
• The “Velvety” Sauce: 1 cup Sugar-Free Marinara Sauce (look for “no added sugar” to keep it professional).
• The Cheesy Blanket: 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella and 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan.
• The Aromatics: 1 tsp Dried Oregano, 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder, and a pinch of Red Pepper Flakes for a “steakhouse-quality” kick.
Preparation Steps
1. The Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease your foil pans or a glass casserole dish with olive oil.
2. The Foundation: Layer your “magic” base (cauliflower or extra meat) at the bottom. Season with the aromatics to ensure every bite is “unbelievable.”
3. The Sauce Infusion: Pour the sugar-free marinara over the base. Use a spoon to spread it into a “velvety” layer, exactly like the rich red base in your photo.
4. The Meat Layering: Pile on the sausage, bacon, and pepperoni. This is the “secret” to making it a true Meat Lover’s “treasure.”
5. The Cheese Topping: Smother the top with mozzarella and parmesan. This will create that professional, “bakery-perfect” crust as it melts.
6. The Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and has those “wow” golden-brown spots.
7. The Reveal: Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving to let the “velvety” layers set!
