Ingredients

Scale

Protein

1 lb ground meat or sausage (beef, turkey, or Italian sausage)

Sauce

1 cup no-sugar-added marinara or pizza sauce

Cheese

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (optional mix with cheddar or parmesan)

Vegetables

½ cup chopped bell peppers
½ cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Seasoning & Oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes)
1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing and greasing)

Optional Toppings

Olives
Pepperoni slices
Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish or oven-safe bowl with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the Meat and Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat or sausage until fully cooked. Remove excess fat if desired, then add chopped bell peppers and mushrooms, cooking until softened. Stir in Italian seasoning to infuse the mixture with classic pizza flavors.
Layer the Ingredients: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of the prepared dish. Evenly add the cooked meat and vegetable mixture over the sauce. Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese atop and add any optional toppings as desired.
Bake Until Bubbly: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
Serve and Enjoy: Let it cool for a few minutes to set, then scoop into bowls or plates and enjoy your flavorful low carb crustless pizza bowl.

Notes

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
Avoid overloading the dish with filling to prevent it from becoming watery.
Grate your own cheese if possible to ensure better melting and freshness.
Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes after baking to firm up before serving.
Experiment with spices such as smoked paprika or extra garlic powder to create unique flavors.
