Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 15 pieces Sliced pepperoni
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks.
Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and stir in the pizza sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture to a lightly greased 9-inch pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the mixture, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
Remove the pizza pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your crustless pizza pie!
