If you’re a fan of both pizza and burgers and want to satisfy your craving for something hearty and low-carb, the Carnivore Pizza Burger is the perfect dish for you. This recipe combines the savory flavors of a juicy burger patty with the toppings you love from a classic pizza, all while staying within the carnivore diet principles—meat, cheese, and deliciousness.
The Carnivore Pizza Burger is packed with protein and fat, making it the ideal choice for a filling meal that gives you all the comfort food vibes of pizza, without any of the carbs. It’s a quick, easy, and incredibly tasty way to elevate your burger night!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for the juiciest result)
- 4 slices of pepperoni (or any other favorite meat topping like sausage or bacon)
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese (or any other cheese you like)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for cooking)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh basil leaves for garnish (for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form the mixture into 4 burger patties, pressing slightly in the center to prevent them from puffing up as they cook.
- Cook the Burgers: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil or butter. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until your desired level of doneness is reached (usually about 4 minutes for medium).
- Add Toppings: When the burgers are almost done, add a slice of mozzarella cheese to each patty and place a slice of pepperoni on top. Cover the pan for about 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted, remove the burgers from the skillet. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil for an authentic pizza flavor. You can also drizzle some olive oil on top for extra richness.
- Enjoy: Serve your Carnivore Pizza Burgers on their own, or enjoy with a side of crispy bacon or extra pepperoni for an even more indulgent meal.
Tips:
- For even more pizza flavors, try adding cooked bacon or sausage to the top of the burger.
- If you’re craving a bit more “sauce,” a low-carb marinara or pizza sauce can be drizzled on top, but that’s optional if you’re keeping things strictly carnivore.
- To keep the recipe simple and pure, make sure to choose cheeses and meats without added fillers or sugars.
This recipe is an easy and fun way to indulge in the best of both worlds—burgers and pizza—while keeping things entirely carnivore-friendly!
