👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Meat Crust
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Mix ground beef, egg, Parmesan, and salt.
-
Press mixture evenly into a greased cast iron skillet or deep round baking dish.
-
Push slightly up the sides to form a “deep dish” edge.
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes.
-
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
-
Spread your carnivore sauce over the crust.
-
Add mozzarella generously.
-
Place meatballs evenly across the top.
-
Sprinkle extra Parmesan.
-
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.
