Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 lb ground beef or ground pork, cooked and drained
  • 6 slices pepperoni, chopped (plus a few whole for topping)
  • Optional – grilled chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sugar pizza or marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the meats: In a skillet, brown the Italian sausage and ground beef. Drain excess fat. Stir in chopped pepperoni and optional bacon or chicken. Mix with marinara sauce and seasoning.
  3. Prep the veggies: Chop green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives.
  4. Layer the casserole: In a greased 9×13″ dish, layer half of the meat sauce, veggies, and cheese. Repeat layers and top with extra pepperoni and Parmesan.
  5. Bake: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden. Broil for 2-3 minutes for a crisp top.
  6. Cool and garnish: Let cool 5-10 minutes. Garnish with basil or parsley. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For a keto version, skip any pasta additions and stick to the meat and veggie layers. You can also swap the meats with ground turkey or plant-based alternatives. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
