Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for crust)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices pepperoni
- 2 oz cooked, crumbled sausage
- 1 tablespoon low-carb tomato paste or pureed meat sauce (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Mix the ingredients by hand until just combined; do not overmix.
- Press the meat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into a thin, round pizza shape, about 1/4 inch thick. This forms your meatza crust.
- Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the center is mostly cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the crust.
- Remove the crust from the oven. Spread a thin layer of low-carb tomato paste or meat sauce over the crust, if desired.
- Top the crust evenly with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and crumbled sausage.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half the ground beef with ground pork or Italian sausage.
- If you prefer a crustless pizza, layer the meat and toppings directly in a small, oven-safe dish and bake until done.
- Use high-quality, full-fat cheese for the best texture and flavor.
