Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey (for a protein-packed base)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (preferably sugar-free)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, then drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper; cook until softened. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the cooked mixture to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the mixture.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled pizza in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if you want a crispier top.
Notes
- Feel free to swap out the cheese for cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend for different flavors.
- Add toppings like mushrooms, olives, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Use freshly chopped basil or parsley for garnish to enhance freshness.
