Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ pound ground beef or Italian sausage
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ½ cup sugar-free marinara sauce
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup sliced mushrooms
• ¼ cup sliced black olives
• ¼ cup diced bell peppers
• ¼ cup pepperoni slices (or turkey pepperoni)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Cook the meat

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess grease if needed.

2. Season

Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. Assemble the bowls

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Divide the seasoned meat evenly among oven-safe bowls or ramekins. Spoon marinara sauce over the meat.

4. Add toppings

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, then layer mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, and pepperoni. Finish with grated Parmesan.

5. Bake

Place bowls in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

6. Garnish & serve

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