Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage hot or mild
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup low-carb marinara sauce no sugar added
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese whole milk, low-moisture
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 Oven-safe skillet A 10 or 12-inch cast iron skillet works perfectly.
  • 1 Box grater For shredding the mozzarella.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the ground Italian sausage over medium-high heat until browned. Drain excess grease. Add most of the pepperoni and cook for 1 minute until crisp.
  3. Add the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
  4. Stir in the low-carb marinara sauce until everything is well combined.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the mixture. Top with the remaining pepperoni slices. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a golden-brown top, if desired.

Notes

Tip 1: For the best results, use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. It melts much more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties.
Tip 2: Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like black olives, spinach, or zucchini to customize your bowl.
