Here’s a tasty Low-Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl recipe—full of flavor but without the carbs from the crust:
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef, turkey, or chicken
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sugar-free pizza sauce or marinara
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or blend of mozzarella & cheddar)
- Optional toppings: sliced olives, pepperoni slices, mushrooms, or fresh basil
Instructions
1. Cook the Meat & Veggies
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté 4–5 minutes until softened.
2. Season & Add Sauce
- Stir in pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer 3–5 minutes to let flavors meld.
3. Assemble the Pizza Bowl
- Spoon the meat and veggie mixture into an oven-safe bowl or skillet.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
4. Melt the Cheese
- Preheat your broiler or oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Broil or bake for 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve
- Top with optional ingredients like olives, pepperoni, or fresh basil.
- Enjoy with a side salad for a full low-carb meal.
💡 Tip: You can make this ahead in meal prep containers and just reheat with cheese before serving.
If you want, I can also give you a keto-friendly version using cauliflower and egg to “hold” the pizza bowl together—even closer to a pizza texture without crust. Do you want that version too?
