  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place four oven-safe ramekins on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned with no pink remaining, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and fragrant.
  4. Divide the meat mixture evenly among 4 ramekins (about 1/2 cup per ramekin). Don't pack it down, keep it slightly loose.
  5. Layer toppings starting with mozzarella cheese, then Parmesan cheese, followed by pepperoni, bell peppers, and onions.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown at the edges.
  7. Let cool for 3-4 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
