This was great!! I am on a low carb, high protein diet in order to beat infertility and help control my PCOS. I had been craving pizza and just couldn't find the right substitution. This will definitely make it into my regular rotation. My 10 year old even said he would eat this before regular pizza any day!!

I stopped finishing mine off in the oven. I have cooked it on occasion in the air fryer just to brown up the cheese. Now, I do everything in the skillet and add half of the pepperoni to the top of the meatza in the skillet. The other half of the pepperoni amount I zap in the microwave to make it crispy like it had been baked in an oven. The combination of crispy and chewy really takes on the real pizza resemblance. Just make sure to brown that ground beef on a high heat and fast. Giving it that seared brown crust makes all the flavor.

I really enjoyed this, but not as much as DH did. I was pleasantly surprised how much he loved it- and he even said to make 2 pizzas next time! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and perhaps should not have done that, as it was runny, probably due to turkey's water content. But it's such an easy and tasty way to enjoy some favorite flavors.

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
