Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken)

Sauce

  • 1 cup pizza sauce (low sugar)

Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Vegetables

  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Layer the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, evenly spread the cooked ground meat as the bottom layer.
  3. Add Sauce and Vegetables: Pour the pizza sauce over the meat layer, then evenly distribute the chopped bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, and diced onions on top.
  4. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the vegetables.
  5. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use lean ground meat to reduce fat content.
  • Feel free to customize with other low-carb vegetables like spinach or zucchini.
  • Low-sugar pizza sauce helps keep the carb count minimal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
