High Protein Pizza Casserole
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. In a skillet, cook the sliced sausage and onion until the onion is tender and the sausage is lightly browned. Set aside.

  3. In a 10 x 6.5 casserole dish, add: ground beef, cottage cheese, pizza sauce, most of the parmesan, sautéed sausage + onion, bell peppers, seasonings.

  4. Add about ⅓ of the mozzarella, then gently mix everything right in the dish—just enough to distribute (no need to fully combine).

  5. Top with: remaining mozzarella, turkey pepperoni, jalapeños (if using).

  6. Bake for ~45 minutes, or until hot, melted, and lightly browned on top.

  7. Finish with reserved parmesan + fresh basil.

  8. Let sit for a few minutes before serving (it will thicken slightly as it rests).
