Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound lean ground beef
- 0.25 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup low-sodium pizza sauce
- 1 premade pizza crust (low-sodium)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (low-sodium)
- 0.5 red bell pepper, sliced
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and black pepper.
Mix until well combined and form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and set the meatballs aside.
Place the premade pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the low-sodium pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the cooked meatballs evenly over the cheese and then scatter the sliced red bell pepper on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm.
