1 lb lean ground beef Choose a lean variety to reduce fat content.
8 oz pepperoni slices For best results, use good quality pepperoni.
8 oz cream cheese Soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly.
1 cup low-sugar pizza sauce Opt for a low-sugar brand to keep it low carb.
1 cup diced bell peppers Adds crunch and a touch of sweetness; use any color you prefer.
1/4 cup sliced black olives An optional addition for a salty, briny flavor.
1 tsp Italian seasoning Enhances the pizza flavor profile; adjust to your taste.
100 g chopped mushrooms or spinach Boosts nutrition and adds more texture; wilt spinach if using.

Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain well using a paper towel-lined colander.
Return beef to the skillet off heat and stir in softened cream cheese and pizza sauce until combined.
Spread the beef mixture into the baking dish evenly.
Top with bell peppers, then shredded mozzarella, and finish with pepperoni slices and any optional toppings.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Broil for 2 minutes if you prefer a crispy top.
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Feel free to customize toppings to your liking. This casserole is perfect for meal prepping and freezes well.
