Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Low-carb marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Sliced bell peppers
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, egg, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Place the meat mixture on the prepared baking sheet and press it into a flat, even circle, about 1/2 inch thick, to form the pizza crust.
Bake the meat crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and carefully drain any excess grease.
Spread the low-carb marinara sauce evenly over the cooked meat crust.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering the surface.
Add your toppings, such as pepperoni slices, sliced bell peppers, and black olives, evenly over the cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to set.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-carb meat crust pizza!
