Protein Packed Supreme Pizza Bowls
Get ready to indulge in a protein-packed, lower carb twist on the classic pizza party! 🍕
Protein Packed Supreme Pizza Bowls, a flavorful and nutritious meal that’s perfect for a prep ahead lunch on-the-go, a quick weeknight dinner, or a fun weekend gathering.
We’re talkin’ lean ground turkey or beef, loaded with sautéed veggies, marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese – all in a convenient, oven-safe bowl. And the best part? You can customize your toppings to your own desire!
But before we dive in, let’s talk cheese. We’re using freshly shredded mozzarella, baby! None of that pre-shredded stuff with added preservatives. And don’t even get me started on the marinara sauce – we’re keepin’ it simple with only a few ingredients, no added sugar in sight!
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get this pizza party started and dig into these protein-packed supreme pizza bowls!
These bowls are especially satisfying to me at lunchtime, thanks to all the flavors. No nap induced food coma either thanks to the lower carb, lower sugar recipe.
➡️These Protein Packed Pizza Bowls are EXCELLENT for meal prep because they reheat very well!
🧀Cheese please:
Instead of buying pre-shredded mozzarella cheese, I like to find a block of grass-fed cheese, or something made locally ON SALE and shred or grate it myself…. or better yet enlist one of the kids for this duty.
Many pre-grated varieties are coated in strange additives (anti-caking & clumping garbage) that actually interfere with the natural texture and melting quality.
Be sure to use YOUR favorite marinara sauce or good quality crushed tomatoes, because that’s where this dish gets a lot of its flavor!
When shopping for store-bought sauce:
I like to make sure the marinara has no added sugar (tomatoes naturally contain sugar, but there shouldn’t be sugar on the ingredients list.)
A good marinara sauce should contain only a few simple ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
🍅Rachel’s Homemade Marinara Sauce
4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey or ground beef
- 2 bell peppers, finely diced
- 1 large sweet onion, finely diced
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
- 2 cups all natural marinara sauce
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced nitrate-free pepperoni
- jalapeno slices, optional to garnish
- olive slices, optional to garnish
- freshly grated parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees f. In a large skillet cook the ground meat while mincing with a wooden spoon.
Once no longer pink, drain any excess grease or moisture, then add in the chopped peppers, onion, and all seasonings.
Continue to cook, stirring often for 5-6 minutes. Add in the marinara sauce, and balsamic vinegar then allow your mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
Divide this mixture among 4 oven-safe bowls and place them on a sheet pan.
Sprinkle each equally with mozzarella and top with pepperoni. Add sliced jalapeno or olives if desired.
Bake in your preheated oven for around 10 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and cheese is nice and melty.
Very carefully remove from oven. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!
