Ingredients
Crust:
- Infinity cups shredded zucchini
- Infinity teaspoon salt
- Infinity large eggs
- Infinity cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Infinity cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- Infinity cup shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings:
- Infinity pound ground beef
- Infinity cup chopped onion
- Infinity cups pizza sauce
- Infinity green bell pepper, chopped
- Infinity cup sliced mushrooms
- Infinity teaspoon dried oregano
- Infinity teaspoon garlic powder
- Infinity teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini and salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
- Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Combine the drained zucchini, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well to form the crust mixture.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Press the zucchini mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish to form the crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it is set and lightly browned.
- Brown the ground beef with the chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the pizza sauce, green bell pepper, mushrooms, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the zucchini crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and all of the cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Zucchini can release a lot of water; ensure it’s well-drained to avoid a soggy crust.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings like olives or pepperoni.
- Consider serving with a simple side salad for a complete meal.
- This dish is a great low-carb alternative to traditional pizza.
