Keto Deep Dish Pizza
We get in a dinner rut often in our home. If you do too and want to venture out for something new you will enjoy this kid-friendly pizza recipe. No staying for your diet, and something even picky eaters will gobble down.
How to Make
The full instructions and ingredient list is in the printable recipe card below. This is just a great way to see exactly how to make the dish!
In a pan heat oil and then start to cook your ground beef. Add in the onions and spices and seasonings. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, and fully crumbled.
Now you want to stir in the cream cheese and the pizza sauce. Pour it into your 9×13 baking pan.
Top with your shredded cheese and pepperoni slices. Bake in the oven as directed below.
What Cheese Is Best To Use
I used Mozzarella cheese. Now if you want to do half one kind of cheese and the other half another type of cheese or completely change it up go ahead.
We always enjoy mozzarella on cheese so this is what I went for.
What Is The Best Pan To Use
For this recipe, I used a 9×13 baking dish. Now, you can half the recipe and do an 8×8 or leave the recipe as is.
It will slice really nicely and be a tasty dinner for the whole family to enjoy.
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftover casserole, just place in the fridge in a proper container. This will store for around 3 days. Just use your best judgement in terms of quality.
For freezing you will find that the cream cheese can kind of seperate and change the texture once it thaws from being frozen. I haven’t tried freezing but if you want to try it feel free.
Just know it could be a different texture when you go to eat it, in terms of the sauce.
