👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Lightly grease small baking dishes, ramekins, or oven-safe bowls.
  2. Cook the Beef
    Heat a skillet over medium heat.
    Add the ground beef and diced onion and cook until the beef is fully browned and the onion becomes soft.

  3. Season the Meat
    Stir in:

    • garlic powder

    Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

  4. Add the Sauce
    Pour the pizza sauce into the skillet with the beef mixture and stir to combine.
    Let it simmer for about 2–3 minutes so the flavors blend together.
  5. Assemble the Pizza Bowls
    Divide the beef mixture into oven-safe bowls.
    Top each bowl with sliced bell peppers and any optional toppings you prefer.
    Sprinkle generously with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake
    Place the bowls in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    For a golden top, broil for about 2 minutes at the end.
