HOME-MADE CRUSTLESS PIZZA BAKE 🍕❤️ | The Recipe We Couldn’t Stop Making
I made this Homemade Crustless Pizza Bake for dinner today, and let me tell you… it disappeared FAST. 😅
We loved it so much that just a few hours later, I had to turn around and make another batch because half the pan was already gone. By the end of the week? We had made THREE batches in FOUR days — and not a single regret!
If you love pizza but want something easy, comforting, low-carb friendly, and family-approved, this recipe is going to become a regular in your kitchen too.
🍕 A Little Background (Why Crustless Pizza?)
Crustless pizza bakes became popular as a way to enjoy all the bold pizza flavors without the dough. It’s perfect for busy nights, weeknight dinners, meal prep, or anyone cutting back on carbs but still craving that classic pizza taste. Think of it as pizza meets casserole — cozy, cheesy, and endlessly customizable.
🧀 WHY EVERYONE LOVES THIS RECIPE
✔️ No dough to roll
✔️ One pan meal
✔️ Packed with flavor
✔️ Kid-friendly & adult-approved
✔️ Customizable with your favorite toppings
✔️ Great for leftovers (if you have any!)
🛒 INGREDIENTS
(Adjust amounts based on pan size and appetite!)
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 cup pizza sauce (or marinara)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or provolone (optional but amazing)
- 1 cup pepperoni slices (or cooked bacon, ham, or veggies)
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- ½ onion, diced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: mushrooms, olives, jalapeños, spinach
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS / METHOD
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, cook the ground meat until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Add onion, bell peppers, and seasonings. Cook until softened.
- Stir in pizza sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish.
- Layer with pepperoni and your favorite toppings.
- Cover generously with cheese (don’t hold back 😉).
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
🔥 FORMATION & FLAVOR TIP
Layering is key! Meat + sauce first, toppings next, and cheese last creates the perfect melty, saucy, pizza-like bite in every scoop. Letting it rest helps it set so it slices beautifully.
