Keto Bacon Pepperoni Pizza

Pizza is back on the LowCarb Menu! With the right ingredients, you can skip the Bloating & Weight Gain from Normal Pizza!

I love Pizza just like any other Foodie & that’s why Keto Pizza with an almond flour crust is a life saver!

Ingredients

Dough

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp. psyllium husk powder
  • 4 tbsp. cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp. oregano
  • ½ tsp. dried basil
  • ½ tsp. dried parsley
  • ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper

Toppings

  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup Rao’s tomato sauce (low-carb)
  • Pepperoni slices (as many as you like)
  • You can add other veggies if you like
  • 5 bacon slices

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, add the 2 cups of mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and melt for around 1 minute, make sure not to burn it.

2. Once the cheese is malleable, add the cream cheese and egg, and blend.

3. Next add the almond & coconut flour, psyllium husk, and other dough seasonings & mix in. Once cooled, use hands to form into a round ball.

4. Spread 2 tbsp of olive oil onto a large baking pan and place the ball of dough on top.

5. Flatten the ball of dough to form a circle shape & place in oven, bake for 10 min, then flip it over and place it back in the oven for another 5 mins. Re-apply more oil to the pan so the pizza doesn’t stick to it. If you like it extra crispy, add another 3min.

6. As it bakes, place skillet on the stove over medium heat and lightly fry the bacon. Just enough to get it half cooked.

7. Remove dough from oven and spread the sauce on top, layer the cheese and add the rest of the toppings including the bacon. Place back in the oven for another 5 min or until cheese is melted. Once done, cut into slices and enjoy!

Keto lettucce wrapped bacon cheese burger

lettuce wrap cheese burger

Wouldn’t it be great if the diet plan you were following allowed you to have a burger on a regular basis? Yeah, that sounds like something I could get behind. I used to think that a bacon cheeseburger was super-unhealthy — but when you look at it carefully, the only part that makes it bad are the buns. They are refined carbs, which you want to avoid if you can, so toss those out and you are good to go. Here is a delicious homemade keto lettuce-wrapped bacon cheeseburger recipe that will be perfect for that summer BBQ.

Prep-time: 25min Cook-time: 10-15min Serving size: 4 patties

Ingredients

r112

Burger patties

✓ 1 pound ground beef (high fat%)

✓ 2 eggs, beaten

✓ 2 tablespoons heavy cream

✓ 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

✓ 1 teaspoon garlic powder

✓ ½ teaspoon chili powder

✓ 1 teaspoon onion powder

✓ 2 teaspoons sea salt

✓ ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
(you can use other cheese if you’d prefer)

✓ ½ yellow onion chopped

Other

✓ 4-8 strips of bacon(be careful it’s not cured in sugar)

✓ 2 small heads lettuce

✓ Mayo (optional)

Instructions

1. To prepare, beat the eggs, chop the onion and separate lettuce wraps.

2. Next, place the ground beef in a big mixing bowl. Breakdown the beef and add wet ingredients (beaten eggs, heavy cream, worcestershire sauce), then mix with clean hands.

3. Then add dry ingredients (Garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, salt) and mix well.

3. Toss in the onions and cheese, and mix in.

4. Next form the patties, avoid over-packing them(as this will make them less juicy). Shape them a bit wider than normal. Since they rise in the middle, use your thumb to pat down a dimple in the middle of the patties.

5. Set the burgers aside, and place the bacon on a cast-iron skillet on a fairly high heat. Cook until the bacon gets a little crispy, then set aside on a covered plate.

7. Next, to cook your burgers, use the bacon grease that’s left over and place the patties on the skillet. You can flip several times; this will help them cook faster as well as keeping them from burning. Should be ready in 8-10 minutes per burger. (Optional — add more cheese on top once it is close to being ready. Also optional — fry an egg and place on top of patties.)

6. Once cooked, prep your lettuce wrap, spread mayo and add any other low-carb condiments like jalapeños or a thinly sliced tomato. Then place the burger inside along with the bacon and wrap it up.
And voilà! You will have a finger-licking-good bacon cheeseburger to share with your family, which will allow you to stay on track with your weight-loss goals. Make sure to have extra napkins — you will need them.
