Keto big mac pizza

INGREDIENTS :

FOR THE CRUST:

• 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup blanched almond flour
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

FOR THE TOPPINGS:

• 1 batch “Not So Secret” Burger Sauce
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (I use half sharp cheddar and half mozzarella)
• ½ pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup diced onion
• ½ teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
• ½ cup thinly shredded romaine lettuce
• 15 to 20 dill pickles slices
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS :

FOR THE CRUST:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir to combine. Return to microwave for 1 additional minute.
3. To the mixing bowl, add egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. (It will be stiff and hard to mix)
4. Line a 10 to 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper. Spread the “dough” into a thin but even layer, covering the pizza pan. If the dough gets too stringy and unworkable, simply put it back in the microwave for 1 minute to soften.
5. Bake on the middle rack for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Watch it to make sure that it does not bubble up. Use a toothpick to pop any bubbles, if necessary.

FOR THE TOPPINGS:

1. In a skillet, over medium heat, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the ground beef is cooked through and the onions are soft. Drain any excess grease.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:

1. Spread ½ cup of the burger sauce across the baked pizza crust. Layer on half of the cheese. Spread the cooked beef in an even layer across the top of the cheese, top with remaining cheese.
2. Reduce the oven heat to 375°F. Bake the pizza for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
3. Top the pizza with lettuce and pickle slices. Drizzle over some of the remaining burger sauce and sprinkle on the sesame seeds. Slice into 8 slices.
