This veggie-lover’s meatza uses ground meat for the crust, a spicy mayo for sauce, and an abundance of veggies for topping! It’s an easy dinner that everyone can get behind.

I need to ask your forgiveness, my friend. You see, I have been making a version of this “veggie-lover’s meatza” for YEARS (and years) …but I never shared the recipe. I honestly *thought* that I had a “meatza” recipe here on the blog …but alas, I was wrong. I can’t believe I kept this from you!

So, what’s is a meatza? It’s a little like an inside-out pizza! Ground meat is used for the “crust” and then toppings are applied as you like. I’ve tried several varieties, but my favorite meatza “crust” is a mixture of half ground pork and half ground beef. I have tried variations in every other direction, but really love this combination. It results in awesome flavor!

For pizza sauce, I like to alternate between a pesto and a spicy mayo (shown here). I’ve found that a red sauce is just a little too watery.

Because all my protein is in the crust of a meatza, I like to add LOTS of veggies to the top! My favorite veggies include mushrooms, onions, olives, peppers, and (the best part) whole peeled tomatoes from a can that I cut into big hunks.

To pull this meatza together, spread the seasoned ground meat out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (with walls!!) in as *thin* of a disc as you can. Know that the “crust” will shrink considerably as it cooks, so spread! Bake the crust until it’s done. It’s important to use a baking sheet with walls because the meat will release a lot of liquid as it cooks. Once cooked, carefully pour off the liquid and then top as you like.

This spicy mayo sauce looks a LOT like cheese and it’s totally delicious. You can either cheat (like I do) and use the Primal Kitchen Foods Chipotle Mayo or you can add some paprika + cayenne + lemon to a bit of mayo.

This meatza is such a fun way to mix up dinner and satisfy my craving for pizza! It keeps me away from ordering takeout, makes a delicous meal, and my hubby is ALWAYS happy. I hope you enjoy!
