- 1 pound ground sausage

- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Flavor Gods Pizza Seasoning (or your favorite pizza seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a disposable pie pan or a 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
- Add Marinara Sauce: Pour the desired amount of Rao’s Marinara sauce into the pan, covering the bottom evenly.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. Once the sausage is browned, remove from heat and set aside.

- Assemble the Pizza Bowl: Add the cooked sausage, sautéed onions, and mushrooms to the pan with marinara. Top with pepperoni slices.
- Season and Add Cheese: Sprinkle the pizza seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (optional) over the top. Then, add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake: Place the pizza bowl in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil: Switch the oven to broil and broil the pizza bowl for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve. Enjoy!
