This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” cheesiness with a professional, “unbelievable” presentation.
Ingredients
• The “Magic” Base: 2 cups Cooked Ground Sausage or Diced Chicken (the “secret” to a flourless, zero-carb foundation).
• The “Wow” Toppings: 1/2 cup Pepperoni rounds, 1/2 cup Diced Bell Peppers, and 1/4 cup Sliced Black Olives.
• The Cheesy Binder: 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella and 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan.
• The “Velvety” Sauce: 1/2 cup Sugar-Free Marinara Sauce (for dipping or a light drizzle).
• The Aromatics: 1 tsp Italian Seasoning, 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 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a bundt pan or a deep glass dish with olive oil.
2. The Mix: In a large glass bowl, toss your cooked meat base with the Italian seasoning and garlic powder until it looks “bakery-perfect.”
3. The Layering: Start by placing a layer of mozzarella and pepperoni at the bottom of the pan, exactly like the professional “wow” layering in your photo.
4. The Infusion: Add a layer of your seasoned meat base and diced peppers, followed by another “magic” layer of cheese. Repeat until the pan is full and everything is “smothered.”
5. The Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the top is a professional golden brown.
6. The Reveal: Let it cool for 5 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a plate. Place a small bowl of sugar-free marinara in the center for a “reborn” dipping experience!
