If you've ever found yourself craving pizza but wanted to stick to your low-carb lifestyle, this Keto Pepperoni Pizza Casserole is your answer. Imagine the rich, savory aroma of pepperoni and melted cheese wafting through your kitchen, promising a hearty meal that’s both satisfying and guilt-free.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups cauliflower rice
1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
1 cup pepperoni slices
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or sausage, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, along with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth.
In a greased baking dish, layer half of the cauliflower mixture, followed by half of the pepperoni slices, and then the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
Top the casserole with the remaining mozzarella cheese and a few extra pepperoni slices for garnish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
