Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 tablespoon olive oil

  2. 1/2 pound ground beef or Italian sausage

  3. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  4. 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  5. 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  6. 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  7. Salt and pepper to taste

  8. 1/2 cup sugar-free marinara sauce

  9. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  10. 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

  11. 1/4 cup sliced black olives

  12. 1/4 cup diced bell peppers

  13. 1/4 cup pepperoni slices (or turkey pepperoni)

  14. 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  15. Fresh basil or parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook the Meat:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.

  2. Season the Meat:
    Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (optional), salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another minute.

  3. Assemble the Pizza Bowls:
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In oven-safe bowls or ramekins, layer the cooked meat at the bottom. Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the meat.

  4. Add Toppings:
    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, then add mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, and pepperoni slices. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

  5. Bake:
    Place the bowls in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. Garnish and Serve:
    Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb pizza bowl!
