Beef & Cheese Pizza Bake

Servings: 4
Net Carbs: ~4g per serving
Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 20 min

Ingredients:
For the Crust (Fathead-style base):

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons cream cheese

¾ cup almond flour

1 egg

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

For the Topping:

½ pound ground beef (or sausage)

½ cup sugar-free marinara sauce (Rao’s or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup shredded cheddar (optional for flavor)

Salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven:

Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or dish with parchment paper.

Make the crust:

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together for 1 minute.

Stir well, then microwave another 30 seconds if needed until smooth.

Add almond flour, egg, and seasonings. Mix into a dough.

Spread onto the baking sheet into a rectangle or circle (about ¼ inch thick).

Bake 8–10 minutes, until golden brown.

Prepare the beef topping:

While the crust bakes, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned.

Drain excess grease, then stir in sugar-free marinara sauce.

Assemble:

Spread the beef mixture evenly over the baked crust.

Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Bake again:

Return to the oven for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Cool & serve:

Let it rest 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with extra Italian seasoning if desired.

Optional Add-Ons:

Add pepperoni, mushrooms, or jalapeños for a pizza twist.

Drizzle sugar-free ranch or garlic butter on top before serving.

Swap beef for ground chicken, turkey, or sausage.

Tips:

Want a crispier crust? Flip the crust halfway through baking before adding toppings.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days — reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
