Carnivore Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowls

This simple and delicious carnivore recipe combines creamy cottage cheese, savory meat, and melted cheese for a pizza-inspired bowl that’s completely animal-based.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

1/2 lb (225g) ground beef or pork
1/4 lb (115g) cooked bacon (crumbled)
1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or your favorite)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
Optional toppings: Extra bacon, cooked sausage, or sliced deli meats (optional but carnivore-friendly)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Ground Meat:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or pork until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt (and pepper if desired). Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.

3. Assemble the Pizza Bowls:

Divide the cooked meat between 2 small oven-safe bowls or ramekins.
Add a layer of cottage cheese on top of the meat in each bowl.
Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the cottage cheese layer.
Top with shredded cheese.

4. Bake:

Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

5. Broil (Optional):

For a golden, crispy cheese topping, switch the oven to broil for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.

6. Serve:

Let the bowls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a spoon for a rich, creamy, carnivore-friendly pizza alternative!

Pro Tips:

Meat Variations: You can mix in other meats like cooked sausage, shredded chicken, or deli meats for variety.
Cheese Choice: Use any type of shredded cheese you prefer, but mozzarella gives a classic pizza flavor.
Customization: Add an egg on top before baking for extra protein and a runny yolk texture.
