Instant Pot Crustless Pizza
This recipe for Instant Pot crustless pizza has pepperoni, ground beef, cheese, green peppers, mushrooms and marinara sauce. Lots of pizza flavor without the crust. This is a good choice for people that are trying to cut calories or have a lower carb pizza option. A serving only has 264 calories. If you are watching carbs you can serve this plain or over spaghetti squash. If you don’t care about the numbers you can serve with with a garlic bread or Texas toast and use it to sop up all the sauce (this was my choice 😜).
Instant Pot Crustless Pizza Recipe Notes:
- How does it not burn? You’ll notice I only use ½ cup of liquid. The reason I did this was because the layer of mushrooms on top of the beef lets off a lot of liquid and helps the pot come to pressure. If you leave out the mushrooms you may want to increase the broth to 1 cup. The other really important part of this recipe is the layering. It is important that you layer the ingredients instead of stirring them all together. This will help prevent the burn error message.
- Marinara sauce: I used Classico brand pasta sauce. I really liked the roasted garlic kind for this recipe! It had great flavor! Feel free to use your favorite brand of marinara sauce.
- Can I add or subtract pizza toppings? Sure! Add your favorite toppings like olives, onions, Canadian bacon, sausage, bacon, pineapple, spinach etc. Just make sure to layer them on top of the mushrooms. You can also leave out toppings you don’t enjoy. But if you leave out the mushrooms you’ll want to increase the broth amount to 1 cup.
- What should I serve with Instant Pot crustless pizza? I served mine with a piece of garlic Texas toast (buy in the freezer section of your grocery store) and a green salad with olive garden salad dressing. Other choices are to serve with spaghetti squash, pasta, French bread, breadsticks, etc.
