A protein packed paleo pizza for on the go snacking, small meal, or recovery meal.

 

Ingredients

• 1 pound pastured ground sirloin

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp. Italian seasonings like Penzeys Tuscan Sunset

• ½ tsp. kosher salt

• 4 Tbs. organic no salt added tomato paste

• 1-2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

• pinch more of Italian seasonings

• ground black pepper

• Toppings: grated mozzarella (primal), un-cured sliced pepperoni, sliced fresh olives, slided pepperdews, anything else you like on pizza

 

 

 

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

• Mix together beef, egg, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, and salt until well blended.

• Place a piece of plastic wrap in a wide-mouth mason jar lid and press a scant ¼ cup of the beef mixture to the edge of the ring, forming a small patty. Repeat until all the meat is used.

• Place the patties on a foil lined jelly-roll pan with edges and bake for 8 minutes.

• Meanwhile thin the tomato paste with some olive oil- I liked 2 Tbs. and add a pinch of Italian seasonings and black pepper. Set aside.

• Remove the beef crusts from the oven and dab the tops with paper towels to remove excess grease. Top each with a tsp. of tomato paste mixture and your desired toppings. Bake another 5 minutes.

• Remove pizzas to a paper towel lined plate, then place on a serving platter or on cupcake paper liners.

• Eat immediately or allow to cool completely and stack in wide-mouth mason jars.
