Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup Diced green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Sliced mushroom
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a medium-sized, oven-safe bowl or small baking dish, spread half of the pizza sauce evenly in the bottom.
Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage over the sauce, followed by half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Layer half of the pepperoni slices, black olives, green bell pepper, and mushrooms on top.
Repeat the layers with the remaining pizza sauce, sausage, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, black olives, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
Top the final layer with grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bowl or baking dish on a baking sheet for easy handling.
Bake the pizza bowl in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Carefully remove from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
