# Instructions:
01 -
Warm up some olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Add in the sausage or beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned, remove any extra grease.
02 -
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning mix, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over the meat. Mix everything and let it cook for a minute.
03 -
Turn your oven to 190°C (375°F) to preheat. In your oven-safe ramekins or bowls, start by spreading the meat layer on the bottom. Pour marinara sauce over the top so it coats evenly.
04 -
Scatter shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then toss on mushrooms, peppers, olives, and pepperoni slices. Sprinkle Parmesan over everything to finish.
05 -
Set the bowls in the hot oven and let them bake for about 10-12 minutes. Take them out when the cheese is gooey and bubbly.
06 -
Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh basil or parsley on top. Serve while hot and savor your tasty pizza bowls!
