Ingredients
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce or pizza sauce See low carb marinara sauce suggestions in the post.
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup browned sausage (or ground beef)
- 1 tbsp green pepper, chopped
- 16 pepperonis
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a 10.25-inch cast iron skillet on the stove, heat the 1⁄2 cup pizza sauce over medium heat until bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
- Grab a cast-iron or regular skillet. Pour 1/2 cup of marinara or pizza sauce into the skillet and heat it on the stove until the sauce bubbles.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the bubbling sauce, reserving about 1/4 cup for later.
- It's time to add your favorite toppings. Whether you prefer browned sausage, ground beef, veggies, or a combination, layer them on the cheese.
- Once your toppings are in place, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top. This will help hold everything together and create a delicious, cheesy finish.
- To add flavor, sprinkle some Italian seasoning evenly across the pizza.
- Place your skillet or baking dish on the top rack of the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, keeping an eye on it as it cooks. The mozzarella cheese should begin to bubble and turn golden brown. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Once the top is golden and bubbly, carefully remove it from the oven using oven mitts or potholders. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
