Description
This Keto Meat Crust Pizza, also known as Meatza, is a low-carb pizza with a savory ground beef crust, seasoned with spices and topped with melted cheddar cheese. Optional cilantro crema adds a fresh, tangy finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ onion, finely minced
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Cilantro Crema (optional):
- ⅓ cup cilantro leaves, loosely packed
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove fresh garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced onion, egg, cauliflower rice, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Press the meat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into a circular pizza crust shape, about ½-inch thick.
- Bake the crust for 15–20 minutes until the edges are browned and the center is cooked through.
- Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Optional: Prepare the cilantro crema by blending cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, and garlic until smooth. Drizzle over the pizza before serving.
Notes
- You can add other keto-friendly toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or cooked bacon.
- Make sure to squeeze excess moisture from cauliflower rice to avoid a soggy crust.
- The cilantro crema can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Use a pizza stone or cast-iron pan for a crispier crust if desired.
