Crock pot low carb pizza casserole layered with beef Italian sausage, ground beef, peppers, mushrooms, marinara, ricotta and mozzarella, topped with beef pepperoni.
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef Italian sausage casings removed
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20
- 1 onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 24 oz no-sugar-added marinara
- 1 tbsp dried Italian herbs
- 4 oz beef pepperoni slices
- 8 oz mozzarella shredded
- 1 cup ricotta
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Brown the sausage and beef together, breaking them up, and drain the fat. Add the onion, pepper and mushrooms for the last 3 minutes.
- Layer half the meat mixture in the slow cooker, then half the marinara, half the ricotta in spoonfuls and half the mozzarella. Repeat.
- Scatter the parmesan and herbs over the top and lay the pepperoni across in a single overlapping layer.

- Take the lid off for the final 20 minutes so the top dries out and the pepperoni crisps at the edges.
