Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or chicken (for a hearty base)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 small bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup chopped black olives
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Start by browning the ground beef or chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Cook until fully browned and cooked through, then drain any excess grease.
- Transfer the cooked meat to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the meat.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by sliced mushrooms, diced bell peppers, and black olives. Add more herbs if desired.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled pizza bowl for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Alternatively, bake using a crispy air fryer for faster results.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot and enjoy a flavorful crustless pizza bowl.
