Low carb Pizza Cups
🛒 What You’ll Need
- Low-carb tortillas or sliced deli ham (to use as the “cups”) 🌯
- 1 lb Ground beef or Italian sausage, browned and drained 🥩
- ½ cup Sugar-free marinara sauce 🍅
- 1 ½ cups Shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
- Fresh basil, chopped for garnish 🌿
- Optional toppings: Pepperoni, olives, or diced bell peppers! 🌶️🍕
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with non-stick spray. 🔌🔥
- Create the Crust: Press your low-carb tortillas (cut into smaller circles) or ham slices into each muffin slot to create a “cup” shape. 🥧📐🥇
- The Meaty Filling: Add a spoonful of cooked ground meat into the bottom of each cup. 🥩🤝💎
- Sauce It Up: Top the meat with a small dollop of sugar-free marinara sauce. 🍅🥄✨
- The Cheesy Blanket: Generously cover each cup with shredded mozzarella cheese until it’s piled high! 🧀👑🙌
- Bake to Bubbly: Place in the oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the cups are golden-brown. ⏲️📈🔥
- The Final Touch: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh chopped basil for that authentic pizza aroma. 🌿🎨🤤
- Serve: Let them cool for 2 minutes so they firm up, then pop them out and enjoy! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Crispy” Secret: As shown in the photo, getting the edges of your “crust” slightly browned adds a satisfying crunch that mimics a real pizza crust! 🍕🛡️💎
- The “Flavor” Hack: Mix a little garlic powder and Italian seasoning into your cheese before topping to give these cups an extra savory punch! 🧄🎯✅
