½ cup cooked and crumbled Italian sausage or sliced pepperoni

👩🍳 Instructions:

Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top.
-
Drizzle with remaining sauce.

Finish with more cheese and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

📝 Tips:
-
Use pre-cooked meats (like rotisserie chicken, sausage, or bacon) to save time.
-
For a microwave version, cook on high for 1½–2 minutes, but broil or torch for that crispy cheese edge.
-
Great for meal prep: assemble in advance and bake when ready.
