Meatza

Google "meatza" and you will discover an abundance of different recipes.  It's yummy.  It really satisfies the pizza craving, especially if you are going to have "real" pizza in the house and need something else to eat!   Also a great way to use up leftover veggies.

Meat "Crust"
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp sage
1 tsp marjoram
1 tsp salt
1 tsp basil
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp onion powder

(alternate: 1 lb beef, 1 egg, 1/7 of 4" link of chorizo)

Pizza Sauce
you can use jarred sauce, as long as it has no sugar
8 oz tomato sauce
6 oz tomato paste
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp basil
3/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Toppings
should be pre-cooked
steamed broccoli
sauteed mushrooms
squash
sliced tomato (raw)
olives
pepperoni
etc

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix meat with spices; press into a small square baking pan.  (I line my pan with parchment paper to make lifting it out easier.)  Bake 25 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes.  Lift meat from pan, being careful to pour grease back into pan.  Place meat on a baking sheet (again, lined with parchment or foil - I hate washing dishes!).

Top meat base with pizza sauce and veggies.  Put back in oven for a few minutes, until warmed*.

*I usually put mozzarella on half the meatza for my kids, so I pop it in the oven until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
