My most favorite recipes are the kind where I can toss a bunch of ingredients together in a dish and bake it for a set amount of time and serve, otherwise known as a casserole. Casseroles are perfect for busy families! Not only can you make a healthy meal, you can do it quickly, use the cook time to clean up the kitchen and essentially look like a superhero with not a whole lot of effort.
And casseroles are super keto-friendly.
My latest and greatest casserole creation is a take on my low carb 15 minute pizza chicken with pepperoni recipe but this takes it a step further and increases the serving size plus is made completely from scratch.
Looks delicious, right? Serve this with a side of green beans for a quick weekday dinner everyone will love.
This recipe is simple, consisting mostly of just assembling the ingredients in the pan.
