Very Low Carb to Zero Carb Pizza

Recipe #397872 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

By: tsw
Nov 5, 2009

This very low carb pizza should please even the Big Carbers amongst your friends and family. Eaten hot, it should be treated like a casserole, but cold it can held like a regular pizza slice. Bonus — no wheat or gluten. Just meat, cheese and a bit of tomato paste.

SERVES 4 -6 , 1 large pizza casserole (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook ground beef with about 2 cups of water (water helps beef cook to crumbly) in a large pan on medium-high til completely done. Drain.
  2. 2
    Add 3 eggs, crushed pork skins, and 1/2 can of tomato paste and stir til blended. Spread in large casserole dish and press into bottom to make burger crust.
  3. 3
    Make 3 layers of cheese and pepperoni over hamburger. Cover with tin foil and cook at 400 for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook til browned to taste.
  4. 4
    Serve hot in dishes, as it will not hold together. Cold, it can be sliced and eaten like regular pizza.
  5. 5
    Optional:.
  6. 6
    Feel free to add any other spices, meats or (argh) veggies to taste. I like to add about a 1/4 cup of Frank's Red Hot to my hamburger crust mix before spreading it into the pan.
  7. 7
    NOTES:.
  8. 8
    A - This is 1/2 of 4oz bag of Rinds. Any pork skin/rinds will do. The dryer the better.
  9. 9
    B - This is 1/2 of 6oz can of Tomato Paste.
  10. 10
    C - I buy the large bag of shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni at Costco. Since my family loves tons of cheese and pepperoni, the cheese will do just over 2 pizzas, and the pepperoni will do just over four.
