Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Sauce
- 1 pound ground beef (or Italian sausage)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free if possible)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Toppings
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or any preferred toppings)
Garnish
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef (or sausage) until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Add Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
