Keto Pizza Casserole Recipe
An easy low carb pizza casserole recipe that's just like eating a supreme pizza but without the breading and carbs! Our pizza casserole without pasta combines Italian sausage, pepperoni, olives, low carb veggies, sauce, and cheese into the ultimate crustless pizza!
Ingredients
- 2 lb Italian sausage swap 1 lb for ground beef or chicken Italian sausage if preferred
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ½ large red onion chopped
- 1 cup green pepper chopped
- 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
- 8 ounces button mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 5 oz pepperoni
- 2 cups marinara sauce Rao's recommended
- 4 ounces black olives sliced
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 F. Grease a 9x13 pan and set it aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the Italian sausage until cooked through. Set it aside, leaving the grease in the pan (add olive oil if more grease is needed) to cook the veggies.
- In the same skillet, saute the garlic, sliced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and Italian seasoning until the veggies are tender.
- You're going to take half of the ingredients and layer them into the 9x13 pan and then repeat the layers with the other half of the ingredients. We made two layers in this order: ½ the ground sausage, ½ of the cooked veggies, 1 cup of marinara sauce, ½ the cheese, ½ the pepperoni, and 1 /2 of the black olives. Repeat these steps.
- Bake the pizza casserole for 15-20 minutes. Broil for 1-2 minutes if you want the cheese to be more golden in color. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, and more parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Shredding your own cheese is recommended, it melts better and is lower in carbs.
- This is an easy recipe to customize and make like your favorite pizza! Feel free to skip any of the vegetables or cut back on certain ones to reduce the carbs.
- To sneak in even more vegetables, mix in 1 lb sauteed or microwaved cauliflower rice.
- We recommend Rao's brand marinara sauce since it tastes homemade and it doesn't add sugar. For the lowest price, stock up at Costco or get it from Walmart, it's often 30% cheaper than a traditional grocery store. Feel free to substitute whatever your favorite brand of sauce is or use pizza sauce instead.
