In the heart of the Midwest, where the fields stretch far and wide, comfort food is a staple that brings families together. This low carb sausage and pepperoni cheese casserole is a modern twist on a classic dish that has warmed many a farmhouse kitchen. With its roots in the hearty casseroles of yesteryear, this dish combines the savory flavors of sausage and pepperoni with the vibrant crunch of bell peppers, all enveloped in a golden layer of melted cheese. It’s perfect for those looking to enjoy a comforting meal without the extra carbs, making it a delightful choice for anyone mindful of their diet but unwilling to compromise on taste.
This casserole pairs beautifully with a simple green salad dressed with a tangy vinaigrette, which cuts through the richness of the cheese and meats. For a touch of freshness, consider serving it alongside a platter of sliced tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with a bit of sea salt. A side of roasted vegetables or a bowl of steamed broccoli can also complement the dish nicely, adding color and nutrition to your meal.
