Instructions

  • Set the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  • Add the chopped onions, green bell peppers, and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often, until the onions soften.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage and vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of the marinara sauce into the bottom of a 10-ounce ramekin, then line the bottom with pepperoni slices.
  • Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly over the pepperoni.
  • Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the top, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
  • Place the ramekin on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza bowl cool for 5 minutes before serving.
