I stick with meats and cheeses to start then consider if I will add in a garnish of some green pepper or chopped tomatoes.

What you will need to make my Easy Low Carb Keto Crustless Pizza Casserole Recipe

• Cast Iron Skillet or baking dish for family size or small pie plate for single serve (as featured in video & photos)
• Prepared Keto Pizza Sauce (purchased without added sugar or make my Low Carb Marinara Sauce)
• Choice of meat: ground beef, ground sausage, pepperoni slices, spicy italian sausage, turkey pepperoni, spicy sausage links chopped, and leftover chicken are just a few.
• Choice of fresh vegetables: red onion, green bell pepper, black olives
• Shredded cheese: mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese
• Extra flavor additions: red pepper flakes, black pepper, fresh basil, italian seasoning, olive oil, garlic powder

Let’s make this Low Carb Pizza Casserole!

Preheat your oven to 350F.

I chose to go with a single serve dish using a metal pie plate that was recycled from a pie.

You can go with a cast-iron skillet for three times as much, or go really big and break out a 9×13 pan so you can feed the whole family at once.

This keto pizza casserole recipe is so easy to customize its crazy!

Just like with a traditional pizza, everyone can have their own version when you separate toppings when putting them on.

Start out by greasing your pan so everything comes out nicely when it is time to serve it up.

Then start building your pizza bowls or family casserole dish by spreading out a thin layer of tomato sauce or marinara sauce.

You want to thinly cover the bottom of the dish where you cannot see the bottom anymore.

The best way to do this is to plop some in and spread it out with a ladel or spatula.

Do not fill too much unless you love extra sauce!

Now fill it with all of your toppings starting with the ground meat or other meats you are using.

Next layer is for your vegetables if you are using.

Then its time to top with cheese.

My preferred cheese is shredded mozzarella, but depending on your toppings, some cheddar cheese might go well with it too.

Then I sprinkle on some black olives and a few additional pepperoni so they will crisp up if you are using them.

To finish off the gluten free pizza casserole, I sprinkle on a few pinches of Italian seasoning.

You could also sprinkle on some of your red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic powder or a drizzle of olive oil for added healthy fats and flavor.

Now put your baking dish in the 350F oven for 10 minutes to get the toppings warm and so the cheese melts.

Once this time is up, turn your oven to BROIL and set your timer for 8 minutes more.

You will want to check at the 5 minute mark when it is on BROIL so it doesn’t burn.

This is the time that has worked out the best for me so the cheese gets slightly browned like it does on a regular pizza.

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container up to 5 days in the fridge.

To rewarm, simply add back to a 350F oven for 10 minutes to get the cheese melty again.

Some additional ideas and tips for you with this recipe

• Keep it meatless when you sub in some thin slices of eggplant for the meat to make it an eggplant pizza.
• Purchase some empty metal pie plates from the store that have covers and meal prep up some ahead of time for your lunches this week!
• When you want to keep the carb count to 0 g net carbs , or super low net carbs, leave out the sauce and just do toppings and cheese. Make sure you use some olive oil as your base so it doesn’t get super stuck with the baked cheese.
• Try this in the air fryer. Keep the temperature the same but eliminate the broil step. The cheese will not be browned, but everything will be warmed and melty to eat.
• No oven available? You can make this perfect meal in a nonstick skillet too! Just build it up as directed and cook it over medium heat until the sauce bubbles. Cover the skillet and remove from the heat. The residual heat will melt the cheese.
