This delicious keto crockpot casserole for pizza lovers takes all the flavors and textures we love in pizza and makes a healthy casserole recipe. Pizza is one of those dishes the whole family can enjoy.

In fact, the entire family can put away a pizza in one sitting without saving any leftovers for that cold pizza breakfast. What’s not to love? You’ve got tomato sauce topped with mozzarella cheese and a combination of your favorite toppings.

The best part is that the leftovers can be enjoyed as a tasty breakfast, even if you eat it cold. The only problem with pizza is that it isn’t anywhere close to fitting into a keto diet.

The pizza relies on a flour dough that is essentially carbs in dough form. Keto dieters can’t eat pizza specifically because of the dough. However, the toppings are excellent.

In fact, cheese has about .9 grams of carbs per serving, which is basically nothing. The toppings are usually some meat that has zero carbs. The veggies will be the most significant addition to carbs if we can ditch the dough.

That is when we turn pizza into a casserole. What kitchen device is best for making a casserole? Crockpots! Simply doing the math, the best way to enjoy pizza while on a keto diet is to make a keto crockpot casserole for pizza lovers.

We can keep the cheese, toss in some sliced bell peppers or green onions, or make it a family-friendly meal and top the casserole with pepperoni alone. One of the most delicious meals you can make uses simple ingredients, doesn’t require much stress in planning, and fits into your keto diet or even meal prep plans.

Keto Crockpot Casserole for Pizza Lovers

There is no shortage of casserole crock pot recipes out there. A casserole recipe is a savior for those who must make a family meal daily. The only thing that can complicate a casserole recipe for the entire family is a diet plan.

Diet plans get in the way of easy cooking. However, it doesn’t have to be, not in a keto diet plan. Sure, some keto recipes require ingredients you probably didn’t know existed, like xanthan gum or turkey bacon.

There are plenty of ideas out there and so many recipes to try. Of course, there are the basic ones. There isn’t a keto dieter out there who hasn’t had keto crack chicken or breakfast sausage stuffed peppers.

Unfortunately, a great way to fail a diet is to use the same recipes repeatedly. We get bored quickly, pushing us towards our more fun go-to’s, like a juicy burger from the nearest burger joint.

There are only so many times we can justify replacing delicious rice with cauliflower rice and using the nutritional information as a shield against the inside voice that tells us this isn’t the same.

Luckily, this recipe changes everything. The next time you start to get bored with your meal plan, try making a keto crockpot pizza casserole.

How to Make Crockpot Pizza Casserole

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. When nearly browned, drain off the fat and add the onion, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic. Over medium heat, store and cook for about 4 minutes until the onion is soft.

Spray your crockpot with oil to prevent the casserole from sticking. Then add the ground beef mixture to the pot and stir in 2 cups of the mozzarella.

Pour the pizza sauce over the ground beef mixture, covering the entire mixture.

Layer 1 cup of mozzarella over the sauce.

Place your topping on the sauce starting with the Roma tomato slices, then mushrooms and pepperoni.

Top the casserole with 1 cup of parmesan.

Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
