Description

This Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl brings all the flavors of pizza—savory meat, marinara sauce, sautéed veggies, and melted cheese—without the carbs. It’s a quick, satisfying, and keto-friendly meal perfect for weeknights.


Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

½ cup chopped onions

½ cup chopped green bell peppers

1 cup sliced mushrooms

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey

½ tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup low‑carb marinara sauce (no sugar added)

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare 2–3 oven‑safe ramekins or small baking dishes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Push vegetables to one side, add ground meat seasoned with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, drain excess fat.
  5. Stir in marinara sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  6. Divide mixture into ramekins. Top each with mozzarella, sprinkle Parmesan, and add red pepper flakes if using.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Cool slightly, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes or bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
  • Use Italian sausage or rotisserie chicken instead of ground beef.
  • Add extra veggies like spinach, olives, or zucchini.
  • Swap cheeses—try provolone, gouda, or drizzle with olive oil or ricotta for a keto boost.
