Ingredients
1 lb ground Italian sausage
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.

Add marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.

Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top. Add pepperoni slices for a pizza-style touch.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
