Meatza: The ultimate gluten free paleo/ keto pizza recipe

Where's the crust? We skipped it. Yep, no empty carbs here- instead it's made on a crust made of grassfed beef. Think meatloaf + toppings. It's a crazy idea, and it's crazy delicious.

Pizza is an iconic food- it smells amazing when it's freshly baked, and is a comfort food for many of us.

It's also one of the first things to go when you decide to go gluten free, dairy free and processed food free. Against The Grain makes a pretty delicious frozen pizza (available at Publix), and Udi's has one that's quite good also.

Meatza is our keto/ paleo/ gf answer to baking pizza. Instead of a grain crust base, you'll build a beautiful tower of veggie toppings on more of a meatloaf base using grassfed ground beef. It puts traditional meatlovers pizza's to shame, and has a strange way of disappearing off the pan before you can wink an eye. At least in our kitchen!

How we make Meatza- feel free to experiment!

1. Mix up eggs, bacon & spices
2. Add in 2lbs of ground beef, and mix
3. Spread your beef base on a baking pan (oiled with coconut oil)
4. Pre-bake the beef base for 15 minutes at 350º
5. Chop your toppings to desired sizes (usually no more than 1")
6. Take the beef base out, spread your sauce (we use pesto)
7. Add your organic veggie toppings
8. Bake the meatza for 20 minutes at 350º
9. Remove, serve and enjoy sharing the gooey, crumbly Meatza goodness!

Here are some photos of the process- it's a pretty simple, fast way to cook a lot of good food. Cook two and you'll have leftovers for work lunches.

Mix up the eggs first with the chopped bacon, before you add the meat in so the eggs disperse well.
