Description

Enjoy the comforts of pizza in a quick and easy low-carb bowl that’s packed with cheesy, saucy goodness and your favorite toppings. Perfect for a fast lunch or snack, this pizza bowl brings classic Italian-inspired flavors into a convenient, single-serving dish that’s both family-friendly and keto-friendly.


Ingredients

Base

  • ½ cup marinara sauce
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • 6 pepperoni slices
  • 2 tbsp cooked ground sausage or beef
  • 2 tbsp chopped bell peppers
  • ¼ tsp Italian seasoning


Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In an oven-safe bowl, layer the marinara sauce evenly followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese, creating the foundation of your pizza bowl.
  2. Add toppings: Arrange the pepperoni slices, cooked ground sausage or beef, and chopped bell peppers evenly on top of the cheese layer. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over all the toppings for extra flavor.
  3. Bake: Place the bowl in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, ensuring all toppings are heated through.

Notes

  • For a veggie-friendly version, add mushrooms, olives, or your favorite vegetables as toppings instead of meat.
  • To save time, microwave the assembled bowl for 1–2 minutes until the sauce is hot and cheese melts for a quick lunch option.
