Keto Pizza Casserole
I love pizza. I mean, I really really love it. Pizza for dinner last night? No problem, I’ll eat pizza for dinner again tonight. So, when we started following a keto lifestyle I was a little concerned because completely giving up pizza made me feel a little sad. Yes, I love it that much. So, one of the very first recipes I started looking for was an easy pizza recipe.
I had already tried several different cauliflower crusts and my family is just not sold on such an atrocity. Maybe there are better recipes out there for a fabulous cauliflower crust, however, I haven’t found it yet. Anyway, in my hunt for a perfect keto pizza recipe, I found several options for pizza casseroles that I thought might work. I played around with several different recipes and made changes here and there until I came up with the perfect Keto Pizza Casserole. It’s easy to make, satisfying, and totally tastes like a smorgasbord of deliciousness.

The first three layers are deli ham, low carb marinara sauce, and browned ground beef.
Is it possible to put too much cheese in this Low Carb Pizza Casserole? I think not.
Then, you start the second layer of all the ingredients.
More marinara sauce and ground beef make it extra delicious.
Finally, top it off with more cheese and a layer of pepperonis.
