Meatza Pie (Crustless Low Carb Pizza!)

This pizza has no crust so it’s great for anyone on a low carb diet or if you’re just looking to cut carbs. It does have a small amount of bread crumbs that act to hold the slices together.

Ingredients

2 lbs ground meat beef, turkey and/or Italian sausage
2 eggs
¼ cup Italian bread crumbs use gluten free bread crumbs for even lower carbs
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp parsley flakes
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 cup pizza sauce more or less to taste
1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Combine Italian 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.
Remove from oven and let cool. Serve your meatza using a wedge-shaped pie spatula.

Notes

Optional toppings: fresh basil leaves, roasted peppers, ham, pineapple, black olives, mushrooms, etc! Anything you'd put on a pizza works!
