I like to think of this as a meat pizza, then I really don’t miss the carbs.
This is easy to make and really good. You can make it ahead so there is nothing to do last minute.
Chop all the pepper, mushrooms, olives, onion, salami and bacon if you want.
Add egg, garlic powder, basil, Worcestershire sauce, and some breadcrumbs. I eliminated the breadcrumbs. Mix well.
Place the meat, onions, pepper pieces, salt and pepper,garlic powder into a bowl and mix in these ingredients.
Next place the meat mixture into a oven proof pan. Bake at 350 for approx. 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and add the tomato sauce.
|Add the reserved toppings. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake until the cheese has melted.
ENJOY!
