Keto Pizza Casserole
When I first started following a low carb, ketogenic lifestyle, I refused to give up the foods that I loved. I just knew that I would not be successful with my weight loss if I took all the foods I loved off the table. The second I tell myself that I can't have something, it becomes my sole focus. Therefore, my only option was to get creative and recreate some of my favorite dishes into a template that worked for me and fit into my new lifestyle change.
I went straight to work creating low carb pizza variations, low carb and gluten free mac and cheese, low carb potato substitutions etc. It made staying on track a lot easier and I never felt deprived. Let's just say that this mentality has resulted in a lot of pizza recipes on my site. Some of my favorites are the Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza, Pizza Stuffed Peppers, Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels and the Supreme Pizza Frittata. YES, even pizza for breakfast!! Why not?
In addition to this Supreme Pizza Casserole, Check out some of my other favorite low carb casserole recipes:
- Keto Big Mac Casserole

- Eggs Benedict Casserole

You have 4 new (really big) fans who were previously pretty attached to Friday night pizza from the local pizza joint. Mama, Husband, 6 year old and 11 month old approved! The kid said "2 thumbs up double wink" the baby said "nom nom". Thank you!

Hi! I just wanted to state that this was the first recipe that I made from your site and it was absolutely delicious! My husband and I loved it. Thanks so much! 🙂

Thanks so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
Rebecca Strahin says
Fabulous. I scaled down the ingredients to serve one but was still great.

Pizza is a food group. Yes it is. Question, and it may sound like I should know, but I have to admit that I'm a novice to baking (anything), and only within the last year have I used my oven (after like 25 years, don't cringe, roll your eyes, or shake your head...oh, ok, go ahead , I laugh about it). Oh, yes the question: what size casserole dish? 8x8, 9x13? Pizza for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. Yes please. Thank you, thank you, thank you.!

OMG.... Made this for dinner, huge hit... My 10 yr old grand- daughter asked if we could have it again tomorrow. She also asked if she could make a smaller one with the things she likes, personal pizza. I told her not a problem... My husband said if there are left overs he wants it for lunch tomorrow...

Whole family approved! I love it! Thank you for letting me know. I love hearing things like that

Hi! The pizza sauce calls for a can of tomatoe sauce. What exactly is that? ( im from South Africa) here you get cans of chopped tomatoes, tom puree/paste. The tomato sauce we get here is like your Ketchup.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I would say it is probably the tomato puree.
Lola says
As someone who could easily eat a whole can of diced black olives, 10 seems awfully skimpy. 🙂
I've got this one on my shopping list for a weekend dinner!
Tammy says
Me too Lola!

This recipe was a huge hit for dinner last night! My husband who has confessed to be able to eat pizza everyday for life.gave it two thumbs up and second helpings. There's so much you could with this, change it up to make your favorite pizza or make it ahead for a quick meal. Definately a blog post about this in the future!
Thanks so much for sharing.
Lori Lynn says
This recipe looks really good! I find it slightly funny though, that there's an ad for ordering pizza online on top of your blog post, when you have a more healthy pizza to eat! LOL

This is so dang clever! I consistently fail at low carb ersatz pizza crusts but I can imagine there's a great flavor blending with this. Thanks for your brilliance...
