Instructions
Combine eggs, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and red pepper flakes with ground meat.
Layer meat mixture into a cast iron skillet and press to make flat.
Bake at 400˚ for 35-45 minutes or until meat is fully cooked.
Carefully remove the hot skillet with meat from oven and drain excess fat if desired by gently tilting the skillet over the sink. Be careful to not touch the skillet and don't over-tilt so that the meat falls out!
Next layer on pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese and any toppings you'd like! Return to oven and bake an additional 10-12 minutes or until cheese has melted.
If using lean ground meat, you may want to lightly grease you pan to prevent the layer of meat from sticking.The size pan you use may vary which affect the thickness of the meat. This will affect cook time. Cook your meat to your desired and safe internal temperature. This varies by the type of meat you use. Use a meat thermometer if needed to determine when your meat crust is done and ready to be layered with sauce and cheese. Keep in mind, meat will continue to cook a bit more once its returned to the oven with sauce and cheese.
