Keto Pizza Bowls in glass meal prep containers with ground meat, pepperoni, and cheese.

Ingredients

  • 24 slices of pepperoni, uncured (40g)
  • 8 slices ham
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 green peppers (large), sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 pound lean grass-fed ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup tomato sauce divided
  • 1/4 cup  black olives sliced
  • 3 ounces mozzarella cheese grated

Paleo/Whole30 Cheese Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup roasted cashews  soaked in water overnight (use salted)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon  onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lay out the pepperoni and ham and cook until lightly crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Watch closely as the ham will most likely be done before the pepperoni.

  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until golden brown on each side, transferring to a paper towel-lined plate and blotting off the excess oil when cooked.

  • While the veggies cook, heat a separate large frying pan on medium high and cook the beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Drain out the excess fat.

  • Divide the ham, pepperoni, vegetables, beef, bacon, and olives between 4, 3-cup meal prep bowls. Divide the remaining tomato sauce between each bowl (1 tablespoon each). Finally, divide the grated cheese, cover each bowl, and refrigerate until ready to eat! Bowls will last 3-5 days in the fridge.

To make the Paleo cheese sauce (if using):

  • Place all the ingredients in a SMALL (mine is 3 cups) food processor and blend, stopping to scrape down the sides often, until smooth. This will take a good 7-10 minutes.
  • Store in small separate meal prep containers, as the “cheese” will lose its texture if you microwave it once you warm up the bowls.
