Meatza Supreme is a majorly man-pleasing mainstay! (Oh, who am I kidding?! My carnivorish self loves this dish at least as much as my hubby and boys!) It has all the pizza taste without the carbs.
There’s no cauliflower to sneak into the crust here either (some guys can actually sniff out that trick from a mile away. Ask me how I know.); the base is made from meat!
With all that meat, Meatza Supreme packs a boatload of protein! You’ll probably want to pair this with a salad for fiber’s sake, or at least load on the veggie toppings. My favorite veggies for this dish are green pepper, red onion, and mushrooms, but you could also add other S or FP vegetables like olives, banana peppers, or a bit of tomato, if you like that sort of thing.
There’s so much flavor packed into the meaty base of this “pizza,” that it in no way tastes like a hunk of hamburg!
Using a couple eggs as a binder, the meat “crust” is flavored with a little Parmesan cheese, herbs, and spices. After baking the “crust” portion first, it’s important to strain of the excess grease so your Meatza doesn’t become watery.
To do this, I hold the “crust” in the pan with a wide flipper, and tip the dish to pour out the remaining grease. Then I take a paper towel and dab the top of the meat base to absorb as much oil as possible.
After you’re meat crust is made, it’s a simple matter of layering on your favorite pizza toppings (we love a little sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, red onion, and green peppers on ours!), cooking for a few minutes more, and then broiling for a wee bit until the cheese begins to turn golden and bubbly, and the pepperoni slices begin to curl.
Serve with a salad to increase your veggie intake, and you’ve got a wonderful family-pleasing meal made without any special ingredients!

Veggie Pizza (S)
This looks super yummy! I’m making this for dinner tonight. Can’t wait to taste it.
Did this tonight and it turned out quite well. The only thing different I did was to add some black olives. I drained it onto a paper plate with paper towels then dabbed it with more paper towels and that worked nicely. Satisfied our pizza cravings. Here are the big nutrition numbers I came up with for a quarter of the whole thing:

Why do you consider olives and peppers to be “S and FP vegetables?”
