Recipe - Meatza

Known in our family as:
A Man's Pizza
Said is a really deep voice...honestly I was just playing around with my kids trying to find a way to explain that our pizza didn't have a traditional pizza crust. I like meatza a lot more than traditional pizza. Is that because pizza gave me a stomach ache or because it always seemed to be soggy?!?!

Anyway, here's the recipe:
  • 1 pound burger
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 slices bacon - cooked and chopped into small pieces
  • Pizza sauce
  • Pizza toppings
Mix burger, eggs and bacon together. Spread out on a greased cookie sheet (make sure to leave an edge like you would for traditional pizza) and bake for 10 minutes at 450. This crust will shrink and look strange! Pour off grease if you have any. Smear pizza sauce on it, add your toppings and cook until cheese is golden and bubbly.

You can buy pizza sauce or you can make it homemade:
  • 1 can tomatoes
  • garlic (we use 3 cloves)
  • Italian seasoning
  • 1tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbs olive oil or so - this flavor is the KEY ingredient!
mix all ingredients in a blender for a quick homemade sauce

We added pepperoni and mushrooms. I just read that a lady added sun dried tomatoes and cream cheese. Yummy!!! This week I bought some Canadian bacon (note: we like pepperoni a LOT better) so we're trying that with peppers and onions.

My son asks for this all.the.time.

This serves my family of four (three big eaters) and then we have leftovers for lunch!

  2. In Canada, we eat bacon, and it comes in strips not rounds. Maple-smoked bacon is best, we can even find maple bacon in the local 7-11.
    However, we don't eat that "Canadian bacon" stuff at all, and here it is marketed as "back bacon", really, it's just bad ham.

    So if you're ever wanting to make a Canadian dish, forget the "Canadian" products marketed in your American shops. Canuck food is pretty much just American food with more wild game, maple, and less ridiculousness. I mean really, the Double-Down, what the heck?

    1. I think what they know as Canadian bacon is back bacon!! that's the round part, cured & smoked like a ham.
      really not as good as what I call streaky bacon for a pizza style dish....but the "peameal" is really more Canadian if you ask me, all of my American customers crave this because you can't get it in the states... but wouldn't put it on a pizza style meal

    2. I haven't heard of peameal before. If we ever get to Canada again I'll have to check it out!

      Thanks for the info.

  3. Anon - I forgot that. When we went to Canada for our honeymoon we were confused on bacon/"Canadian bacon"!
