Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, or Italian sausage)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, garlic blend)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni slices
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Meat: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat of your choice and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Stir in diced bell peppers and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes, mixing well with the meat.
  3. Incorporate Tomatoes and Seasonings: Add the diced tomatoes along with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes so the flavors meld together.
  4. Top With Cheese and Melt: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, covering the mixture. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Once the cheese is bubbly and melted, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh basil, red pepper flakes, or your preferred toppings, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh bell peppers and mushrooms for better texture and flavor.
  • Drain excess fat from the cooked meat to prevent the bowl from becoming too oily.
  • Cover the skillet while melting the cheese to ensure even melting without burning.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste before serving for the perfect flavor balance.
  • Using a non-stick pan helps make cooking and cleanup easier, especially with cheese.
