Keto Beef Pizza Casserole
This vegan keto pizza casserole swaps meat and cheese for delicious plant-based alternatives—without sacrificing that cheesy, saucy, pizza-night flavor you crave.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ cups vegan ground beef substitute
- 1 cup marinara sauce sugar-free
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper optional
- 1 cup vegan mozzarella shreds
- ½ cup sliced black olives
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup chopped bell peppers
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast for extra cheesy vibes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) like the multitasking goddess you are.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté onions until soft—about 3 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, but not burnt (we’re making dinner, not regrets).
- Toss in the vegan beef and brown it up, about 5–6 minutes.
- Stir in marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer it all together for 3–4 minutes to marry those flavors.
- In a baking dish, layer the beef mixture like you’re stacking emotional baggage—neatly.
- Sprinkle mozzarella, olives, mushrooms, peppers, and nutritional yeast like pizza fairy dust.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
- Cool slightly, slice into squares, and inhale with minimal dignity.
