Meetza Is The Low-Carb Pizza

I have not been able to eat pizza for a while and I ran into a recipe for a "Meetza" online, so I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, this recipe turned out to be pretty tasty and easy to do. It makes 8 servings enough for 4 adults.

Nutrition Facts Per Serving 


  • 318 calories, 19g of fat, 3g net carbohydrates and 33g of protein

Ingredients


  • 2 lbs of ground beef
  • 5oz of mushrooms
  • 3oz of green bell peppers
  • 4oz of shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 6oz of low carb tomato basil (about 6 net carbohydrates per half a cup)

Seasonings

  • 4oz of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1tsp of salt
  • 1tsp of caraway seeds
  • 1tsp of oregano
  • 1tsp of garlic salt
  • 1tsp of coarse ground pepper
  • 1tsp of crushed red pepper 

Quick Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Mix all the seasonings in a bowl
  • Mix the ground beef with the eggs
  • Add the seasonings to the ground beef and mix well
  • Place the ground beef on a 12" x 17" cookie sheet. It should cover the entire cookie sheet
  • Cook it in the oven for 10 minutes
  • Saute the green bell pepper and mushrooms with some butter on an iron skillet, when ready put aside.
  • Remove the ground beef from the oven and drain the fat carefully, put aside
  • Set the oven to Broil on high
  • Put a layer of tomato basil on the ground beef, then a layer of the shredded Parmesan cheese and lastly the saute mushrooms and green bell peppers evenly distributed
  • Place the ground beef with all the toppings back in the oven for anywhere between 3 to 5 minutes. You need to check it often because it might burn.
  • Take it out of the oven and cut it in 8 slices so that you can use the nutrition facts above
It takes about two slices per person if all you are eating is this Meetza
