  • 1 lb Italian sausage or ground beef
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: black olives, spinach, jalapeños, fresh basil, or red pepper flakes

How to Make Low Carb Pizza Bowls

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set out four oven-safe bowls or ramekins.

2. Cook the Sausage

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage (or ground beef) until browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks and drain any excess grease.

3. Prepare the Pizza Bowl Layers

  • In each bowl, start by spreading a couple of spoonfuls of marinara sauce at the bottom. Divide the cooked sausage evenly among the bowls. Top with a layer of mushrooms, diced bell pepper, and diced red onion.

4. Add Pepperoni and Cheese

  • Add a few slices of pepperoni to each bowl, then top with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each bowl for extra flavor.

5. Bake the Pizza Bowls

  • Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the toppings are heated through.

6. Garnish and Serve

  • Carefully remove the pizza bowls from the oven (they’ll be hot!), and garnish with any optional toppings, such as fresh basil, spinach, or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Low Carb Pizza Bowls

  • Customize the Toppings: Add any of your favorite low-carb pizza toppings! Try black olives, spinach, jalapeños, or artichokes for extra variety.
  • Choose a Low-Sugar Marinara: To keep this dish as low-carb as possible, opt for a low-sugar marinara or make your own.
  • Broil for Extra Bubbly Cheese: After baking, switch to broil for the last 1-2 minutes for an extra bubbly, golden cheese topping.
