Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease two individual-sized aluminum foil pans with olive oil.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sliced Italian sausage until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced bell peppers until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed bell peppers, sliced pepperoni, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared pans.
Top each pan with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the pans on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage and pepper mixture. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or provolone, for a unique flavor profile. If you’re not a fan of pepperoni, try substituting it with cooked bacon or ham. For an extra layer of flavor, add some sliced mushrooms or onions to the sautéed bell peppers. This dish can also be made in a larger casserole dish if you prefer to serve it family-style.
