Step 3: Build the Base Layer
Spoon a layer of marinara sauce into the bottom of your baking dish. This acts as the “foundation” of your pizza bowl.
Step 4: Add Protein and Vegetables
Evenly distribute your cooked protein over the sauce.
Then add your vegetables for extra flavor and texture.
Step 5: Season It
Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the mixture. This enhances that classic pizza taste.
Step 6: Add the Cheese
Generously top everything with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Make sure to cover the surface well—this creates that delicious melted layer.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until:
- The cheese is fully melted
- The top is bubbly and slightly golden
Step 8: Optional Broil
For a crispy, golden top, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 9: Cool and Serve
Let the pizza bowl cool for a few minutes before eating. This helps everything set and prevents burns.
