# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease two to three small oven-safe ramekins or bowls.
02 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the sausage or ground beef, stirring and breaking apart until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Season meat with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
03 -
Distribute the cooked meat evenly among the ramekins. Spoon approximately two tablespoons of marinara sauce over each portion of meat. Add green bell pepper, mushrooms, and black olives over the sauce. Top each with shredded mozzarella cheese.
04 -
If desired, layer on pepperoni, additional vegetables, or preferred optional toppings.
05 -
Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
06 -
For a golden cheese topping, broil for 1 to 2 minutes while monitoring closely to prevent burning.
07 -
Allow bowls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy directly or accompany with a side salad for a complete meal.
# Notes:

To further reduce carbohydrates, omit black olives or use additional low-carb vegetables. Ensure sauce contains no added sugars for strict low-carb compliance.
