From Dana Carpender?s 500 Low- carb recipes.

I used the parmesan cheese and topped the whole thing with sliced mushrooms and Italian olives and sprinkled it with more Italian seasoning. I also used beef and sausage. After you drain the grease off the meat, I would put it under the broiler for a minute to brown the meat and make it a little crispy, like a crust. It ends up looking like pizza and taste like it too.

Meatza!

1 ? pound ground beef or ? pound ground beef mixed with ? pound Italian-style sausage

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning(optional)

8 ounces sugar-free pizza sauce

Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional)

8 ounces shredded mozzarella

Toppings-you choose (peppers, onions, mushrooms, or whatever you like)

Olive oil (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a large bowl and with clean hands, combine the meat with the onion and garlic, and a teaspoon of oregano or Italian seasoning. Mix well.

3. Pat the meat mixture out in an even layer in a 9 x 12-inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

4. When the meat comes out, it will have shrunk a fair amount, because of the grease cooking off. Pour off the grease and spread the pizza sauce over the meat. Sprinkle the Parmesan on the sauce (if using), and then distribute the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce.

5. Top with whatever you like: green peppers, banana peppers, mushrooms, olives, anchovies. I love broccoli on pizza, and thawed broccoli ?cuts? work perfectly. You could use meat toppings, such as sausage and pepperoni, but they seem a little redundant since the bottom layer is meat.

6. Drizzle the whole thing with a little olive oil.

7. Put your Meatza! 4 inches below a broiler set on High. Broil for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.

This sounds great. I don't eat meat so I'll try it with ground turkey! Thank you.

Sounds very yummy -- I'm not a big sausage and red meat eater so I'll go along with Mac and use ground turkey. But it does sound good. Thank you for sharing.

I wanted to say how SUPER YUMMY this pizza is!! I make it a couple of times a month and even my hubby loves it!! I make it with ground turkey, minced garlic and Italian Mrs Dash in the crust, and I use the rest of the ground turkey (scramble fried in a bit of PAM) along with minced mushrooms and red and yellow peppers and then I add some crushed pineapple on top of the light shredded mozza!! SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!

( I did find that my first attempt was quite dry, but when I used the whole little tin of pizza sauce on top of the crust (instead of just a couple of tablespoonfuls) with some light parmesan cheese, it was fantastic!)

Highly recommend this one, and I feel like I'm eating pizza again!!

Just went to the store and bought the ingredients....will be cooking it tonight. Thanks Alison, your the greatest!

You're welcome Sarah, I hope you enjoy it!! I know WE do!:thumbup1:
