Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Halal Beef Pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup Cooked Beef Sausage crumbles (halal)
- 1.5 cups Sugar-Free Marinara Sauce
- 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 cup Diced Green Bell Peppers
- 1/4 cup Sliced Black Olives
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- Fresh Basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is completely browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.
- Once the beef is cooked, drain the excess grease from the pan to ensure the casserole isn’t oily.
- Stir in the sugar-free marinara sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld.
- Pour the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the meat base.
- Top the cheese with the beef pepperoni slices, beef sausage crumbles, diced bell peppers, and black olives.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices settle so the casserole stays together better.
- Garnish with fresh basil if desired and enjoy!
