Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease four oven-safe ramekins or a medium baking dish.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
Step 3: Add the Vegetables
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet.
Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 4: Season the Filling
Stir in the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Simmer for 3–5 minutes until everything is well combined.
Step 5: Assemble the Bowls
Divide the beef and pepper mixture evenly among the prepared baking dishes.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the filling, then top generously with the shredded mozzarella.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
For a golden, slightly crispy top, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Tips
- Add pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, sausage, or cooked bacon for extra pizza flavor.
- Use Italian sausage instead of ground beef for a richer taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
