Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb ground sausage (spicy or mild)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup diced onions (yellow)

Other

  • 1 cup low-sugar tomato sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheese blend (mozzarella and cheddar)
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Nonstick cooking spray (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray an oven-safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground sausage until fully cooked, ensuring it is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, and diced yellow onions to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened and tender.
  4. Assemble Bowl: Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish. Pour the low-sugar tomato sauce evenly over the mixture, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning on top. Finally, cover with the shredded cheese blend.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly to allow the flavors to meld and to prevent burns. Serve warm and enjoy your crustless pizza bowl.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, use mild ground sausage and adjust Italian seasoning to taste.
  • You can substitute the sausage with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Feel free to add other pizza toppings like olives, spinach, or jalapeños according to preference.
  • Use low-sugar or no-sugar-added tomato sauce to reduce sugar content.
  • This recipe can be doubled to serve larger groups and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
