🌟 Homemade Crustless Pizza Bake (WW-Friendly)
Servings: 4
WW Points: 3–5 points per serving (depending on your toppings and cheese choice)
🍅 Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) extra-lean ground turkey or chicken (or use lean ground beef)
- 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce (like Rao’s, Hunt’s no-sugar-added, or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup chopped onions (optional)
- ½ cup chopped bell peppers or mushrooms (optional)
- ¾ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8–10 slices turkey pepperoni (optional, adds ~1 point total)
🍽️ Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground meat with onions and peppers until browned. Drain any excess liquid.
- Stir in marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon mixture into a lightly sprayed 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Top evenly with shredded mozzarella and turkey pepperoni.
- Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Cool a few minutes before serving — it sets up like a cheesy pizza casserole!
🍕 Topping Ideas (Mix & Match – All Low Point!)
- Sliced mushrooms
- Diced tomatoes
- Spinach or kale
- Jalapeños or olives
- Crumbled turkey sausage
- A sprinkle of parmesan (adds ~½ point)
💡 Tips
- Use fat-free mozzarella to lower points even more.
- Portion it into meal-prep containers — it reheats perfectly!
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or oregano for that true pizza flavor.
Would you like me to make a “White Pizza Bake” version next — with creamy ricotta, garlic, and spinach, but still WW-friendly?
