Supreme Pizza Casserole
Ingredients
- 16 oz bag of frozen cauliflower florets
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper chopped & divided
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 3/4 cup tomato sauce
- 5 oz pepperoni (I used Applegate Naturals Uncured Pork & Beef Pepperoni)
- 4 oz cremini mushrooms for topping
- 1 oz sliced black olives for topping
- red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9x9 baking dish.
-
Steam your cauliflower (I used a microwave) until fork tender and then add to a blender or food processor. Add in the nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and egg and blend until smooth.
-
Add your ground pork sausage, diced onion, garlic, and 3/4 of the green pepper into a pan over medium high heat and cook until browned. Once browned, chop up all but 6 pieces of pepperoni into small bites and mix in with the tomato sauce.
-
Pour the meat mixture into your greased baking dish and spread out the cauliflower mixture evenly overtop. Top it all off with your remaining 6 slices of pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, green peppers, and sliced olives.
-
Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the toppings have toasted up slightly. Top with red pepper flakes to taste before serving.
Recipe Notes
* This recipe will cut WAY more easily if you allow it to come to room temperature and cool it in the fridge for a few hours before slicing. However, if you don't mind a messy plate, feel free to dig right in!
