Meatza, oh meatza.
I had no idea how delicious Meatza would be until I tried it. I had been making fat head dough pizza bases for a while and decided to do a meatza for a change. Wow.
Super low in carbs and extremely filling, meatza is now a staple in my house.
I do it two ways. For dinner I usually make one large Meatza that I then serve just like a pizza. But I also love using good quality Angus burgers to make individual mini Meatzas which are perfect for packing in to lunch boxes, for portioning out, or let’s be honest when I’m time poor.
If you would like to do this, make sure you check the nutritional information on the burger packaging, as fillers can add carbs. I like to make sure that my burgers are no more than 2 grams of carbs each.
This recipe lists the ingredients required for one large Meatza, but just split the base into for or eight portions for mini Meatzas. Enjoy!

- Cut the pepper, mushroom and red onion into small strips or bite sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Melt the ghee and pour over the vegetables.

- While the vegetables roast, place all of the meatza base ingredients into a bowl and thoroughly combine.
