Description

This Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl is the ultimate quick and comforting dinner. Packed with Italian sausage, melty mozzarella, and fresh veggies, it’s a guilt-free way to enjoy all the best parts of pizza without the carbs. Ready in under 30 minutes and totally customizable for the whole family.


Ingredients

1 pound ground Italian sausage

1 cup sliced bell peppers

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced black olives

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Pepperoni: use turkey pepperoni for a healthy option.


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Add bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Divide mixture evenly into four oven-safe bowls.

Top each bowl with shredded mozzarella and sliced olives.

Place bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil, and serve hot.

Notes

Make it vegetarian by swapping sausage for sautéed zucchini or plant-based meat.

Spice it up with hot Italian sausage or a drizzle of hot sauce.

Can be prepped ahead—just assemble bowls and bake later.

Great for meal prep! Reheats well for lunches.
