Beefy Crust Pizza
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 lb raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)
- 2 T egg white (about 1 large egg)
- 2 T grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Topping:
- 1/3 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/2 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Optional:
- chopped basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Thoroughly mix crust ingredients in a large bowl. Shape into a circle on the parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1/4-inch thick and 10 inches in diameter.
- Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Cook and stir until mostly softened and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Remove crust from oven, but leave oven on. Carefully drain excess liquid from the baking sheet, and thoroughly blot crust dry.
- Spread seasoned tomatoes over crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with cheese and cooked veggies.
- Bake until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
