Crust ingredients
1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1 large egg
3/4 cup blanched almond flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
1/2 cup low carb pizza sauce or marinara
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1/2 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup diced onion (about 2.5 oz)
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
15 dill pickles slices
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (I used a combination of sharp cheddar and mozzarella)
Crust instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir to combine. Return to microwave for 1 additional minute.
To the mixing bowl, add egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. (It will be stiff and hard to mix)
Line a 12 inch pizza pan with parchment paper. Spread the “dough” into a thin but even layer, covering the pizza pan. If the dough gets too stringy and unworkable, simply put it back in the microwave for 1 minute to soften.
Bake on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Watch it to make sure that it does not bubble up. Use a toothpick to pop any bubbles, if necessary.
Toppings
Mix the low carb pizza sauce with the yellow mustard and set aside.
In a skillet, over medium heat, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the ground beef is cooked through and the onions are soft. Drain any excess grease.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
Top with half of these cheese.
Pile on ground beef mixture.
Top with remaining cheese, crumbled bacon and pickle slices
Reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
