High-Protein Pizza Bowls with Russet Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups Green Giant™ Fresh russet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• cooking spray
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 11/2 cups marinara sauce
• 2 cups diced bell peppers (any color)
• 2 cups diced onions
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• Optional toppings: sliced olives, red pepper flakes, fresh basil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil 4 oven-safe bowls/ramekins (or a small baking dish).
2. Par-cook the potatoes by tossing cubed russets with cooking spray, a pinch of salt & pepper. Microwave 5–6 minutes (stir halfway) or roast on a sheet pan 10–12 minutes until just tender.
3. Heat 1/2 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and saute veggies. Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper. Cook, breaking up, until browned and cooked through, 5–7 minutes.
4. Assemble bowls: Add some marinara sauce to the bottom of each oven-safe bowl and layer with cooked potatoes, cottage cheese, meat, then veggies. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.
5. Bake 15–20 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
6. Finish & serve: Top with olives, red pepper flakes, and fresh basil if using.
