A delicious and easy-to-make crustless pizza bowl perfect for low-carb lovers, combining seasoned ground meat, sautéed vegetables, tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage (use ground turkey for a leaner option)

For the Vegetables

  • 1.5 cups low-carb vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini; feel free to swap in favorites like spinach or mushrooms)

For the Sauce

  • 0.5 cups tomato sauce (opt for a low-sugar variety)

For the Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (a homemade mix can elevate the flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (fresh minced garlic can give a more robust flavor)

For the Topping

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (consider mixing in some parmesan for added richness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pizza bowl.
  2. Cook Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add your ground beef or Italian sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat to reduce grease.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add 1.5 cups of low-carb vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender and aromatic.
  4. Add Sauce and Seasoning: Pour in 0.5 cups tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir the mixture for 2-3 minutes over medium heat to combine flavors.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the meat and vegetable mixture evenly into a baking dish to form the base of the pizza bowl.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and to avoid burns.

Notes

  • Use lean meats like ground turkey or lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Mix a variety of low-carb vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms to enhance flavors and nutrition.
  • Check the oven periodically while baking to prevent over-browning of the cheese.
  • For extra richness, consider mixing parmesan cheese with mozzarella for topping.
