Ingredients
Method
- Brown the sausage in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through and golden at the edges, about 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, add marinara, cream cheese, and Italian seasoning, and stir until smooth, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the meat sauce evenly in the skillet or a greased baking dish, top with mozzarella and pepperoni, then heat the oven to 400°F.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then broil 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is golden and pepperoni crisps. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Letting the casserole sit after the broil is the little step that keeps it from falling apart when you lift the first scoop. If you like softer pepperoni, add them after the bake instead of before the broil.
