When you are in the mood to have pizza yet you are limiting your carbohydrates intake then this Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl will save the day. It unites all the daring, corny tastes of your most loved pie–crust less, of course. Despite keto lifestyle or simply the desire to have a light version of a comfort food, this dish will not disappoint.
Savory ground Italian sausage is the key to this dish, as it adds a nice meaty foundation. After the sausage has been browned and cooked through it is accompanied by sliced bell peppers and mushrooms which are sauteed until tender to provide a contrast in texture and earthiness.
It is all held together by a generous portion of sugar free marinara sauce seasoned with traditional Italian herb blend and optional pinch of red pepper flakes should you prefer a bit of heat.
The best thing about this dish is that it can be highly customized. Once the meat and vegetables have had a chance to simmer to tenderness, they get split up into single-serving oven-safe dishes, making serving easy but also making the presentation look fancy.
After that, they are generously sprinkled with shredded mozzarella cheese- after all, what is pizza without that ooey-gooey, melted stuff? Some chopped black olives provide a salt contrast and additional layer of flavor.
These crustless pizza bowls are baked until they are bubbly and golden and emerge out of the oven with all the banal of a conventional pizza, fragrant, melted, and utterly comforting. Just before serving a little fresh basil on top provides a fresh punch of flavor and color.
Not only is this dish fast and simple to prepare, but it is also great as meal prepping or a weekday dinner. You achieve the comfort and deliciousness of pizza without all the carbfellow-induced guilt. It is kid friendly, infinitely versatile and is bound to become a standard in any low-carb kitchen. So youre counting carbs, or you simply desire a lighter version of an old time favorite, this recipe will satisfy your craving in every spoonful.
