Keto Crock-Pot Pizza Casserole
A delicious and easy-to-make keto-friendly pizza casserole cooked in a slow cooker, featuring layers of seasoned meats, marinara, vegetables, and cheeses. Perfect for a comforting low-carb dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 ounces sliced pepperoni
- 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8-10 slices provolone cheese
- 0.5 cup sliced mushrooms
- 0.5 cup chopped green peppers
- 0.5 cup diced onions
- 32 ounces jar of Rao's marinara sauce or your favorite keto-friendly marinara
Instructions
- In a large skillet, sauté the ground sausage and beef until nicely browned. Once cooked, make sure to drain any excess fat thoroughly and set the meat aside.
- Grab your 8-quart slow cooker and start by spooning about 1/3 cup of Rao's sauce onto the bottom. This creates a lovely base and helps prevent sticking.
- Now, let's build! Spread roughly one cup of your browned meat mixture as the first layer. Follow with a sprinkle of pepperoni, some of your fresh veggies, and a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
- Continue this delicious layering process: add another drizzle of marinara sauce, then more meat, optional veggies, and more mozzarella. Keep going until all your ingredients are used, making sure your top layer is shredded mozzarella.
- Crown your casserole with the provolone cheese slices. Cook on low for 4 hours, allowing all the wonderful flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Serve hot and savor every cheesy, meaty bite!
Notes
For an extra zing, you can sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or a dash of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
