Beef Crust Pizza

The recipe makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

CRUST
1 lb (450g) ground beef
1 large (50g) egg
1/2 cup (43g) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup (0.25g) grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

TOPPINGS
1 medium red bell pepper (119g), roasted and sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper (119g), roasted and sliced
1/4 cup (22g) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp (3g) chopped fresh basil

 

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add the ground beef, egg, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a large bowl; mix well.

Press the beef mixture into a large circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating a “crust” for the pizza.

Bake the beef crust for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

Remove the beef crust from the oven and top with the roasted bell peppers (or other toppings of choice), 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Slice and serve the pizza hot.
