Ingredients:

For the Meat Crust:

• 1 lb ground beef (or pork, chicken, or turkey)
• 1 egg (optional, for binding)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for texture)
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toppings:

• 1/2 lb cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1/2 lb pepperoni slices
• 1/2 lb sausage (cooked and crumbled)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• Fresh herbs (like oregano or basil), for garnish (optional)

• Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Prepare the Meat Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (or your choice of meat), egg, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Form the Crust: Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, press the meat mixture into a pizza shape. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Make sure the edges are slightly raised to contain the toppings.
  4. Cook the Meat Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15–20 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and slightly crispy around the edges. Check it halfway through to ensure it’s cooking evenly.
  5. Add the Toppings: Once the meat crust is ready, remove it from the oven. Top the crust with shredded mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, pepperoni, sausage, and any other desired meats. Sprinkle garlic powder or extra seasoning if you’d like.
  6. Bake Again: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Slice and enjoy your carnivore pizza!

  8. Tips:

     • Feel free to experiment with different meats based on your preferences or what’s available. Some people like to add steak strips or even chicken thighs.
     • If you want an extra crispy crust, broil the pizza for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
     • Make it spicy by adding some red pepper flakes or jalapeño slices on top.

     Enjoy your hearty, meat-packed carnivore pizza! 🍕🍖
