#PizzaNight #EasyDinner #ComfortFood
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a little kick)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free if you prefer)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (feel free to skip if you’re not a fan)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional, but it adds a nice touch!)
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the perfect temperature for getting your cheese all melty and bubbly!
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook your ground beef until it’s browned. Drain any excess fat to keep things from getting too greasy.
3. Stir in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up so those flavors get cozy together.
4. Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Think of it as your own pizza canvas!
5. Pour the marinara sauce over the beef, making sure to spread it evenly.
6. Now, generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Yes, more cheese is always a good idea!
7. Top things off with pepperoni slices and diced bell peppers if you’re using them.
8. Finally, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for that extra umami kick.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Don’t forget to garnish with fresh basil if you have it!
