Servings: 4
Calories: 539kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb grass-fed ground beef
- 1 sweet white onion diced
- 1 heaping cup crimini mushrooms sliced then roughly chopped
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 5 oz sliced pepperoni
- 32 oz jar marinara sauce
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- handful spinach or basil, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and mushroom for 5-7 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper & garlic, and continue to cook until the veggies are soft & the beef is no longer pink. Drain.
- Cut the pepperoni into bite-sized pieces and stir it into your meat and veggie mixture. Sauté for 3-5 minutes to cook up the pepperoni a bit.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet, and stir to combine. Add red pepper flakes and reduce the heat to low. Stir in chopped spinach or basil. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to heat the sauce through.
- Serve hot!
Notes
- Add any other pizza "toppings" you like~ sausage, salami, black olives, etc.
- For Whole30 compliance, double check your marinara sauce and meats for additives.
- If you tolerate cheese, you could sprinkle some on top at the end & pop the skillet under the broiler for a few minutes!
