Ingredients:

1/2 lb grass fed beef – lowest fat possible
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
1 tbsp chili powder – or other seasoning of choice
1/3 cup DH Marinara Sauce or other low carb sauce
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup sliced green bell peppers
6 slices of pepperoni

Tools needed:

12″ Non-stick Pizza pan
Non-stick cooking spray – optional
Oven
Cutting board
Knife

Step 1: Preheat oven.

Set the oven to broil and arrange the top rack about 6 inches from the flame. 

Step 2: Season beef.

Add the salt, pepper and chili powder to the grass fed beef and mix together.

Step 3: Cut pepper.

Slice the bell pepper into small slivers and set aside.

Step 4: Prepare beef crust.

Press the beef onto the pizza pan and spread it as far out to the edges as possible because it will shrink a lot in the oven. You want the beef crust to be very thin.

Step 5: Broil and drain.

Place the prepared crust under the broiler for about 7-9 minutes or until browned on the top and remove promptly. Check on it after about 4 or 5 minutes and drain the excess fluid using a handful of paper towels. Be careful of burning yourself during this process.

Step 6: Sauce it up.

Spread the sauce evenly over the crust.

Step 7: Arrange peppers.

Take the pepper slices and arrange them over the sauce.

Step 8. Sprinkle cheese.

Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the peppers.

Step 9. Lay pepperoni slices.

Lay the pepperoni slices over the cheese.

Step 10. Broil.

Place the prepared pizza back under the broiler for 4-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Step 11. Enjoy!

Make sure you let the pizza cool off before taking a bite. The inside contents may be hot!
