Ingredients
Ground Beef
Ground beef is the star of this meatzza casserole. You’ll need 1 pound of lean ground beef. This ingredient provides the protein base that holds everything together while delivering a rich flavor.
Italian Sausage
For added depth, include ½ pound of Italian sausage. The sausage brings spices and juiciness to the dish, enhancing its overall taste profile significantly.
Bell Peppers
Chop 1 cup of bell peppers (mix colors for visual appeal). They add crunch and sweetness, balancing the savory components nicely while also boosting nutritional value.
Onion
One medium onion (diced) is essential for flavor. Onions contribute sweetness when cooked and provide an aromatic base that elevates all other ingredients.
Pizza Sauce
You’ll need 1 cup of your favorite pizza sauce. This ingredient ties the whole dish together with its tomato goodness and herby notes, reminiscent of classic pizza flavors.
Cheese
Use 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese for topping. Cheese adds creaminess and helps bind the ingredients while providing that irresistible melty texture everyone loves.
Seasonings
A teaspoon each of garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper will enhance the overall flavor profile. These seasonings give your meatzza a traditional Italian touch that makes it truly irresistible.
