Easy Paleo Meatza Recipe

Today, I’ll share a new recipe called “meatza.” If you’re anything like me, three things may be true:

1. You tend to have a pound of ground beef on hand.
2. You like to throw together something simple for dinner after a long day at work.
3. Your cooking is not an exact science.

Interested readers, I introduce you to the meatza. It’s like pizza, but with meat as the crust. Genius, right? While I can’t claim this idea as my own, I can claim that it is as delicious as it sounds.

Try this meatza, and I’m telling you, you just found your next favourite midnight snack.

This meatza is a pizza without bread. You'd love these if you don't like bread crust. This is meaty, cheesy and so flavourful.

Meat Crust Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (minced beef)
• 2 teaspoons chili powder (chilli powder in British English)
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 2 cloves garlic - minced
• 2 sprinkle garlic salt
•  
  2 sprinkle pizza seasoning

Topping Ingredients

• ¾ cup ketchup (tomato sauce Australia and UK) - organic
• 1 medium green pepper (green capsicum) - chopped
• 1 cup black olives - pitted and chopped
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes - chopped

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl, combine all meat crust ingredients.
• Divide meat in half and spread into two 8- to 9-inch round pie pans. Spread evenly so that the meat spans the entire pan.
• Place in oven for 15 minutes.
• While the meat is cooking, chop and prepare topping ingredients. I chose the ingredients listed above, but feel free to get creative here.
• Take out the two meatzas and let them cool in the pan (do not turn off the oven).
• Spread parchment paper or tin foil over a cookie sheet and place meatzas on top.
• Add tomato sauce and non-avocado ingredients to each meatza and put back in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Make sure to monitor – this time may vary slightly depending on toppings.
• Once the meatzas are done cooking, top them with herbs.
• Share and enjoy!
