Ingredients

For pizza crust

1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork
¼ cup onion finely chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 egg
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For topping pizza

6 slices bacon cut in 1-inch pieces
¾ lb button mushrooms sliced
1 cup bell peppers thinly sliced
1 cup no sugar added tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450F
In a bowl, mix the ground meat with the egg, onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
1 lb lean ground beef, 1 lb ground pork, ¼ cup onion, 1 clove garlic, 1 egg, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Spread the mixture on a 16-inch pizza pan and bake for 10 minutes.
While the crust cooks, heat a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the bacon for about 5 minutes so it’s still a bit soft.
6 slices bacon
Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until they are almost cooked.
¾ lb button mushrooms
Add the bell peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
1 cup bell peppers
Remove the crust from the oven and pour out the juices which can be reserved for other recipes. At this point the crust will have shrunk a bit.
Preheat your oven broiler.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust and spread the bacon, mushrooms and bell peppers on top of the sauce.
1 cup no sugar added tomato sauce
Sprinkle with the oregano.
1 teaspoon dried oregano, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Put the pizza back under the broiler and broil until to top starts to brown (2 to 3 minutes).

Notes

Use any combination of ground meats for the pizza crust, just make sure to include at least one with a higher fat content to keep moist.
Add any paleo toppings you prefer on top to replace the bacon, mushrooms, and bell peppers, if desired.
If following a keto diet instead of Paleo, you can add cheese as a topping.
