Ingredients:

grassfed ground beef - 1 pound
bulk Italian sausage - 1 pound
pastured eggs - 1
dried oregano - 1 tsp
dried basil - 1 tsp
garlic powder - 1 tsp
caraway seeds - 1 tsp
sea salt - 1 tsp
freshly ground black pepper - 1 tsp
ground cayenne pepper (optional) - 1/2 tsp
all natural jarred tomato sauce - 1 cup (I use Gabriel's brand.)
red or green bell pepper - 1, chopped
medium yellow onion - 1, chopped
garlic cloves - 2, minced
extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil - 1 tsp
any other pizza toppings of your choice - try sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, and artichoke for a nice twist


Preparation:

-Preheat oven to 450º F.
-Warm oil in a large cast iron or other oven-proof skillet. Add green pepper and onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from pan and set aside.
NOTE: Add any other veggies of your choice, such as mushrooms, at this step.
-While vegetables cook, combine spices in a small bowl.
-Place beef, sausage, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly combine. Add spice mixture and continue to mix until the spices are evenly distributed.
-Transfer meat mixture to skillet and press down to form a deep-dish style meatza crust. Place in oven and cook for 10 minutes.
-Remove skillet from oven and pour off any grease. Pat the top of the crust with a paper towel to absorb any residue.
-Set oven to broil.
-Top crust with tomato sauce, then veggie mixture, and other toppings of your choice.
-Place meatza under broiler for about 3-5 minutes.
-Remove from oven and let sit for 2 minutes. Cut into wedges and enjoy!
