Meatza Pie Crustless Low Carb Pizza<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

As I started researching low carb pizzas I kept running into something called a \"Meatza\". Turns out it's been a standard low carb recipe since around 1999 which uses a meat crust instead of a dough crust. Yeah, that's what I said ... meat crust? Fast forward to last night's dinner and man O man was it ever a success all around. The Money $Shot above speaks for itself!! Looks like a pizza, cuts like a pizza, and tastes like a pizza - don't forget your fork. One, maybe two Meatza slices with a side of salad will more than satisfy any hearty appetite. Just like pizza, variations of\u00a0 Meatza recipes are endless - limited only by your imagination and taste buds ... Best of all, just like pizza it's great hot or cold and keeps well in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

The first big lesson I learned is that you need to use lean ground beef<\/span> to prevent shrinkage. This time I baked the meat crust in a preheated 400\u00baF oven but next time I will be making the Meatza Pie in my MAK 2 Star<\/a>. Baked the crust for 15 -20 minutes (depending on thickness) until the crust reached an internal temperature<\/a> of 160\u00baF. Removed and drained the grease\/fat. Used a paper towel to dab away grease\/fat from the top of the meat crust.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
