Carnivore Cheeseburger Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for a richer flavor)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the topping:

• 1 pound ground beef (or any ground meat of your choice)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1-2 tbsp butter or animal fat for cooking the beef
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1-2 tbsp mustard (optional, if you’re okay with some condiments on your carnivore pizza)
• Optional: Sliced bacon or cooked sausage for extra protein and flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper, or grease it lightly with butter or animal fat.

2. Make the crust:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese for about 30-40 seconds (or until it’s melted and gooey).
   • Add the eggs, grated parmesan (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the melted cheese. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture will be sticky but should form a dough-like consistency.
   • Spread the mixture onto your baking sheet or pizza stone. Use a spatula to flatten it out into a round or rectangular pizza shape, depending on your preference.
   • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and crispy on the edges.

3. Cook the ground beef:

   • While the crust is baking, heat the butter or animal fat in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Cook the beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. If there’s excess grease, drain it off before using the beef as a topping.

4. Assemble the pizza:

   • Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven.
   • Spread a thin layer of mustard (optional) over the crust if you’d like a bit of tangy flavor.
   • Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the pizza.
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.

5. Bake the pizza:

   • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Optional toppings:

   • Once out of the oven, you can add extra carnivore-friendly toppings like cooked bacon, sliced sausage, or even a drizzle of melted butter on top.

7. Serve and enjoy:

   • Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing it. Serve hot and enjoy your Carnivore Cheeseburger Pizza!

Tips:

• For a firmer crust: Let the crust cool slightly after baking to set up more firmly before adding the toppings.
• Meat variations: You can use ground lamb, ground turkey, or any meat you like as the base for your pizza topping.
• Extra fat: For a richer flavor, drizzle a bit of melted butter or beef tallow over the pizza just before serving.
