Pepperoni Meatza

4.5
(102)

For people who are gluten-intolerant, low-carb, paleo, or whatever, it can be hard to go without pizza. This pepperoni meatza makes it a lot easier. It's made just like regular pizza but with ground beef as the crust. It sounds weird, but it is absolutely delicious and very filling. This recipe is something great to make ahead of time and then eat as leftovers. It's great, hot or cold, just like pizza! If you make 6 square slices, each is usually more than enough to fill you up. Feel free to add whatever toppings you typically eat on pizza. It will taste just as good!

Yield:
1 (12x17-inch) pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste (Optional)

  • 2 pounds extra lean ground beef

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 (12 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup tomato sauce

  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package sliced pepperoni, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Combine salt, oregano, garlic salt, black pepper, caraway seeds, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

  3. Combine ground beef and eggs in a mixing bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Add Parmesan cheese and salt mixture; combine. Press into a 12x17-inch pan, spread out evenly.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until ground beef is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease.

  5. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  6. Sprinkle 1/3 mozzarella followed by tomato sauce in an even layer over baked ground beef. Sprinkle 1/3 mozzarella over sauce; top with slices of pepperoni. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 mozzarella over top.

  7. Broil until mozzarella melted, bubbling, and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
