Low Carb Supreme Pizza Casserole

Submitted by Chef Petunia

"This is an adaptation of several recipes I found in some old church cookbooks. Most called for pasta, this one does not and is not missed according to my high carb eating husband. Look for pizza sauce that has no added sugars and one that is lowest in carb counts."

I'D GIVE IT TEN STARS IF I COULD. THIS IS DELICIOUS. I USED MY HOMEMADE ITALIAN SAUSAGE IN IT, ANY ONE THAT IS ON A LOW CARB DIET AND MISSES PIZZA SHOULD TRY THIS. THANKS FOR THE RECIPE, IT IS A KEEPER.

This was delicious! Easy to make and really tasted like a supreme pizza! Helps to satisfy the pizza craving. I used hot Italian sausage out of the casing and 2-3 tsp. oregano. Served with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Always looking for yummy low carb casserole recipes-- this is a good one!

Love this recipe! So easy to make ... there's really no way to mess it up. My entire family, from my carb-watching husband to my incredibly picky son, loved it. I was even able to make this a little healthier by sneaking in some turkey Italian sausage (instead of the transitional pork) and no one was the wiser! My family was fighting over what little leftovers we had. This is a keeper for sure!

My family loves this! Tastes just like supreme pizza without the crust. Perfect week night low-carb dinner. Easy to make and also quick. We eat this at least twice a month!

Really delicious and super easy. Satisfied my pizza craving. Used mini pepperoni, Rao's Vodka Sauce and purple onion like that Hut does? Definitely a go to dish!
