📝 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

🥩 Meat Crust

  • 1 ½ lbs (700g) ground beef (80/20)

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan

  • ½ tsp salt

🍅 Carnivore “Sauce” (No Tomato Option Included)

Option 1 (Animal-Based Red Style)

  • ½ cup beef bone broth

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • ¼ tsp salt

Simmer until slightly thickened.

Option 2 (If you allow tomato)

  • ¾ cup sugar-free tomato sauce

  • Salt to taste

🧀 Toppings

  • 1–1½ cups shredded mozzarella

  • 12–16 small beef meatballs

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan

  • 2 tbsp butter (for richness)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Meat Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Mix ground beef, egg, Parmesan, and salt.

  3. Press mixture evenly into a greased cast iron skillet or deep round baking dish.

  4. Push slightly up the sides to form a “deep dish” edge.

  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes.

  6. Drain excess grease.

2️⃣ Prepare Meatballs

  • Roll small beef balls (about 1 tbsp each).

  • Pan-sear until browned (they will finish cooking in oven).

3️⃣ Assemble the Pizza

  1. Spread your carnivore sauce over the crust.

  2. Add mozzarella generously.

  3. Place meatballs evenly across the top.

  4. Sprinkle extra Parmesan.

  5. Dot with small pieces of butter.

4️⃣ Bake Again

Return to oven for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

For extra browning, broil 1–2 minutes.

🔥 Texture Tips

  • For firmer crust: Pre-bake 18 minutes before topping.

  • For extra cheesy pull: Add sliced provolone under mozzarella.

  • Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
