Ingredients
• 1/2 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked ground beef or Italian sausage
• 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers (green, red, and yellow)
• 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
• Optional toppings: Sliced jalapeños, olives, or mushrooms.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Base
Start by spreading a layer of sugar-free marinara sauce at the bottom of an oven-safe bowl or small foil tin, as seen in image_7.png.
2. Add the Protein
Layer your cooked ground beef or sausage and pepperoni over the sauce. This provides the hearty base of your pizza bowl.
3. Layer the Vegetables
Place the sliced bell peppers and any other optional vegetables on top of the meat. As shown in image_7.png, using a variety of colored peppers adds vibrant color and extra flavor.
4. Top with Cheese
Generously cover the entire bowl with shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake or Broil
• Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Broiler: Place the bowl under the broiler for 3–5 minutes for a faster result and a golden-brown finish on the cheese.
6. Serve
Let the pizza bowl cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your quick, low-carb meal directly from the bowl!
