Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 8 oz pepperoni slices
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
Optional Ingredients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain well using a paper towel-lined colander.
  3. Return the beef to the skillet (off heat) and stir in softened cream cheese and pizza sauce until combined.
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly into the baking dish.
Assembly
  1. Top with diced bell peppers, then shredded mozzarella, and finish with pepperoni slices and any optional toppings.
Baking
  1. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  2. Broil for 2 minutes if you prefer a crispy top.
  3. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve warm from the oven with a side salad or fresh basil. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven for best results.
