The Best Low Carb Pizza
I have always loved pizza. Homemade is my favorite too since all the way back to my childhood when my mom would get the kits and we could all make our own. This is that food nostalgia I often talk about. Even in adulthood, pizza is an easy favorite too.
I really love margherita pizza and my friend Sherry has the best MARGHERITA PIZZA RECIPE that I have ever found! So it was just fitting that I find a way to make my pizza love happen when I chose to get a bit healthier.
Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza Casserole has become an easy favorite here. Getting those vegetables in has never been so easy and delicious all at the same time. We have spent the better part of the year cleaning up some of our favorite recipes with some healthy swaps. Recipes like our CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS and NO SUGAR ADDED OATMEAL COOKIES show anyone how a few healthy swaps can make a big impact.

How to Make Pizza Casserole
We do a couple of things ahead of time and use a few shortcuts to make this mix and pour casserole easy and delicious.
Preheat oven to 350°. Slice chicken sausage and brown in a skillet. Drain and cool. Set aside. In a large bowl, add in sausage.
Add minced garlic, basil, oregano, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Mix in the raw, riced cauliflower, parmesan cheese, about â…” of the turkey pepperoni that you diced before hand and marinara. Stir to mix well. Pour in a 8.5 X 11 casserole dish or 10 inch cast iron skillet. Spread evenly. Top with mozzarella cheese and reserved whole slices of pepperoni. Bake for 20-30 minutes until melted and slightly brown on top.
Serve with your favorite salad or side and enjoy!
Storage

Tips and Tricks
I like making this in a skillet so I can cut it into slices. Then it becomes just like I am eating a real piece of deep dish pizza.
Yes! This is a great place to get started to see how easy and yummy it is. Feel free to add other things like mushrooms, green peppers, or low sodium ham. Just make sure you are not adding anything that will make it stop being low carb.
Yes! I would not cook it though. I would leave it raw and just thaw it to room temperature and drain all of the excess water from it first.
