1. Prepare the vegetables
Dice the bell peppers and onion, slice the mushrooms and jalapeños, and set everything aside.
2. Brown the beef
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked.
Drain excess grease if necessary.
3. Season the beef
Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Stir well and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. Cook the vegetables
Add the onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet.
Cook for 4–5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the jalapeños and cook for another minute.
5. Add the pizza sauce
Stir in the pizza or marinara sauce.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
6. Assemble the bowls
Divide the mixture between 3–4 oven-safe bowls or small baking dishes.
Top each bowl with mozzarella and Parmesan.
Add sliced pepperoni if desired.
7. Bake
Place the bowls in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted.
For a beautifully browned top, switch to broil for the final 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.
8. Serve
Let the pizza bowls cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Add extra jalapeños, fresh basil, or a sprinkle of Italian seasoning on top.
Cheesy, saucy, meaty, and packed with pizza flavor—without the traditional crust! 🍕🔥
