• Usually I don't eat wheat or grains because I follow a Paleo Zone diet. So most of the recipes you will find here will be grain-free, opting, where it calls for wheat flour to use almond flour or coconut flour instead. Soon I will be experimenting with almond flour pizza but for now this recipe is an ode to my gals at the Mary Magdalene Project.
  • Ingredients:
  • Ready made pizza dough from Trader Joe's
  • 8 oz. can of tomato sauce
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 pkge ground beef
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 jalapenos, sliced
  • 6 mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 lb. mozzarella cheese, grated
  • Liberal amounts of olive oil
  • flour for dusting the pizza dough
  • Remove the pizza dough from the package and set in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and keep at room temp while you are preparing the other ingredients. This is so the pizza dough will be exposed to the warm air in your kitchen. The warm air will activate the yeast in the dough and cause the dough to expand to make your pizzas more fluffy rather than bread-like.
  • Combine diced onion and tomato sauce in a sauce pan and simmer till hot stirring occasionally.
  • Put about 2T(tablespoons) of Olive Oil in a saute pan and let it heat up a bit. Then add your ground beef and let it cook down for a few minutes. You may have to drain extra water from the pan. Add the crushed garlic and saute with the ground beef.
  • Saute your mushrooms and jalapenos, either together or separately in a little olive oil.
  • Heat up a stove top grill pan(add a little olive oil to the grill pan so the pizzas don't stick) or your outside grill.
  • Now you're ready for the dough. Pull apart the dough into 3-4 smaller pieces. Take each piece and roll it in flour and begin to pull it into the shape of a circle, like a small pizza disc. Or you can experiment and make any shape you want to make.
  • Now grill only one side of your pizzas. Keep them on the grill a few minutes until the tops begin to slightly bubble and the underside is golden brown like a waffle.
  • Take the pizzas off the grill and flip them over on plates so that the uncooked side is on the bottom. Top your pizzas with the tomato and onion sauce, ground beef mixture, mushrooms, jalapenos and lastly the cheese.
  • Put the pizzas back on the grill/grill pan, uncooked side down and cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Take them off the grill and eat!
  • Bon Appetit!
