INGREDIENT NOTES

HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY PIZZA BOWL RECIPE: STEP BY STEP

Here are some quick visual instructions. Remember that the recipe card below will include full instructions with exact ingredients!

Step 1: Brown sausage or other meat if using.

Step 2: To assemble pizza bowls, start by adding a layer of marinara sauce.

Step 3: Then add your toppings of choice.

Step 4: End with cheese, then repeat. I like doing two big layers. Make sure you end with the cheese layer!

Step 5: Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.

RECIPE TIPS & TRICKS

• If you are using sausage or another meat, I always like to brown the meat, then when it’s almost done, throw in my veggies and sauté them for a few minutes with the meat. It’s not necessary to cook your veggies beforehand, though–it just adds another layer of flavor!
  
• For a nicely browned top, broil 1-2 minutes at the very end of baking.

• Reheating: For best results, reheat pizza bowls in the oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the toppings are warmed through. You can also reheat them in the microwave for 2-3 minutes on medium power until warm.

ADDITIONS & SUBSTITUTIONS

SUBSTITUTIONS
Make it Veggie: You can easily replace the sausage with more veggies! I love green bell pepper, onions, mushrooms and olives.

Cheese: Any good-melting cheese is perfect. Provolone cheese, fontina, or Monterey Jack are great options.

ADDITIONS
Make it Spicy: Add jalapenos and crushed red pepper flakes to spice it up!

Make it Healthier: Replace the sausage with turkey pepperoni or nix the protein all together and do a veggie-only bowl.

Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, or dried herbs like oregano or Italian seasoning are delicious additions sprinkled over the top.

Ranch dressing: A drizzle of ranch dressing on top of your pizza bowl is delish!
