Print: Pepperoni Meatza

For people who are gluten-intolerant, low-carb, paleo, or whatever, it can be hard to go without pizza. This pepperoni meatza makes it a lot easier. It's made just like regular pizza but with ground beef as the crust. It sounds weird, but it is absolutely delicious and very filling. This recipe is something great to make ahead of time and then eat as leftovers. It's great, hot or cold, just like pizza! If you make 6 square slices, each is usually more than enough to fill you up. Feel free to add whatever toppings you typically eat on pizza. It will taste just as good!
