GROUND BEEF PIZZA
This is my kind of favorite pizza. I have not try this one but this is almost the same as the one I did without any recipe. This is from the issue of November 2005, Coup de Pouce. ETA : I made it on July 24, 2011. I used 1 lb of lean ground beef. And also a store-bought dough already made. I made this pizza sauce : recipe#460241 I added chopped red bell pepper. DH said 10 stars and he didn't know it was my recipe.

- In a medium bowl, combine egg product, oats, 2 teaspoons of the oregano, the salt, and pepper. Add ground turkey breast; mix well. Shape turkey mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
- For a charcoal grill, place patties on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 14 to 18 minutes or until no longer pink (165°F), turning once halfway through grilling and topping each burger with a cheese slice for the last minute of grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place burgers on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook pasta sauce until heated through.
- Place burgers on bun bottoms. Top burgers with pasta sauce, the remaining 2 teaspoons oregano, and the bun tops.

PEPPERONI MEATZA
For people that are gluten-intolerant, low-carb, paleo, or whatever, it can be hard to go without pizza. This dish makes it a lot easier. It is made pretty much exactly the same as pizza, but with ground beef as the crust. Sounds weird at first, but it is absolutely delicious and very filling. This is something great to make ahead of time and then eat as leftovers later on. It's great hot or cold, just like pizza! I find that if you make 6 square slices, each slice is usually more than enough to fill you up. Feel free to add whatever toppings you normally eat on pizza. It will taste just as good!

Tips:
- Choose lean ground beef: Opt for ground beef with a fat content of 90% or less to reduce the overall fat and calorie content of your pizza.
- Drain the fat: Before using the ground beef, drain off any excess fat after cooking to further reduce the fat content.
- Use whole-wheat or cauliflower crust: Whole-wheat crusts provide more fiber and nutrients compared to traditional white crusts. Cauliflower crusts are a low-carb alternative that is also gluten-free.
- Load up on veggies: Add a variety of vegetables to your pizza for added flavor and nutrition. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach.
- Use low-fat cheese: Opt for low-fat or part-skim mozzarella cheese to reduce the fat and calorie content of your pizza.
- Go easy on the toppings: While toppings can add flavor and variety to your pizza, be mindful of the amount you use. Too many toppings can make your pizza greasy and high in calories.
Conclusion:
By following these tips, you can create a lower-fat hamburger pizza that is still packed with flavor and satisfaction. Enjoy this healthier version of a classic comfort food without compromising on taste. Remember, moderation is key, so enjoy your pizza as part of a balanced diet.
