Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups low-carb vegetables (sliced bell pepper, zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms)

- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (or substitute 1 tsp oregano + 1 tsp basil)

Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium and add the ground beef or Italian sausage. Cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.

- Pour in the tomato sauce and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let sit for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ground turkey or plant-based ground can replace the beef/sausage. Add more sauce for a saucier dish or reduce for a drier bowl.
