This Cheeseburger Pizza Carnivore Style is the perfect way to indulge. By ditching the carbs and focusing on savory, protein-packed ingredients, this recipe transforms your favorite fast-food treat into a guilt-free, low-carb delight.
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for the perfect fat ratio)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Toppings:
- 1/2 cup sugar-free marinara or tomato sauce (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cooked ground beef (seasoned with salt and pepper)
- 4 slices of crispy bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
- 2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
-
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, egg, and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a thin crust (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Bake the crust for 12–15 minutes, or until it’s firm and slightly browned.
2. Add the Toppings:
- Remove the crust from the oven and carefully blot any excess grease with a paper towel.
- If using marinara sauce, spread a thin layer over the crust.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Add the cooked ground beef, bacon pieces, and pickle slices.
3. Bake Again:
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Add Finishing Touches:
- Drizzle sugar-free ketchup and mustard over the pizza for that classic cheeseburger flavor.
- Slice and serve hot.
- Pro Tip: Pair this dish with a light lettuce wedge salad or enjoy it solo for a completely carnivore-friendly meal. It’s the best of both worlds in every bite!
