• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a flat, round crust approximately 10-12 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Bake the meat crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is browned and cooked through. Remove from the oven and carefully drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cooked meat crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your desired toppings such as pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, and mushrooms.

Step 7

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
