    Eating healthy does not have to be stressful or difficult. With just a handful of ingredients and good protein source, you can have a delicious and hearty meal in under an hour. This Crustless Skillet Pizza (⇐check out the Web Story to this yummy meal) can be enjoyed with a side salad or as is, depending on how and what kind of vegetables used for toppings. I tend to not even worry about the salad if I pile those veggies high.

    Take the stress out of dinner with this easy one pan meal baked in the oven. My favorite part is that this low-carb meal is so versatile and can be made with vegetables you currently have in your kitchen so no need to run out to the store.

    High in protein and low in carbs. The crust is made out of ground meat making this a great protein-rich meal. Because of the choice of crust, we can avoid nearly all carbs in this easy one-skillet meal.

    Helpful Tips for this Crustless Skillet Pizza:

    • Recipe card lists traditional pizza toppings such as mushrooms, bell peppers, onions and olives. Feel free to use whatever you have in your refrigerator.
    • Because we're using 2 pounds of ground meat, this Crustless Skillet Pizza has plenty of protein as is. However, if you can source clean, nitrate/nitrite-free pepperoni - you can totally include those in this skillet pizza. Likewise, sausage can be used as well.
    • Using lean meat will help you avoid having to drain the fat from the meat patty as it cooks. Considering that the skillet will be hot, this is a good thing. If you use fattier meat such as beef or pork, make sure you carefully pour out the liquid fat from the skillet before adding sauce and toppings.
    • The meat patty will slightly shrink in size. This is to be expected. When covering the meat patty with pizza sauce, be sure to get the outside of the meat patty (skillet). This combined with melted cheese creates amazing sauce for this Crustless Skillet Pizza.
    • Use low-carb or sugar-free pizza sauce. Alternatively, you can use spaghetti sauce (my favorite low carb is Rao's Marinara Sauce). Please note the nutrition facts include regular pizza sauce. 
    • Leftovers are best kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can easily be re-heated in a covered skillet or small saucepan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes or until meat is heated through.

    Tools used in the making of this Crustless Skillet Pizza:

    • 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet:  This is my most used pan in the kitchen. Goes from stove to oven, heats well and when properly seasoned and cared for, can become an amazing non-stick skillet. It also retains heat well making it a great choice for this meal.
    • Pizza Wheel & Cutter: Make it an official pizza night but using this sturdy pizza cutter. It's a solid choice and makes perfect pizza slices.
    • Stainless Steel Spatula: This is another often-used tool in my kitchen. I love that it's stainless steel making it safe to transfer hot foods to plates. The wide spatula is super helpful for pizza slices.

      We really enjoyed it. I only used 1 t of salt and for the meat, ground turkey and Italian sausage, plus an egg as a binding agent.

      Is the nutrition information listed above for the entire recipe or per serving? That seems like an awful lot of sodium for one serving. I plan on using turkey which I know has virtually no salt. So, the salt would come from the toppings ie: sauce, cheese etc

        I reduced the salt slightly but it is per serving (which would be 1/6th of the skillet pizza). You can try a smaller serving or use less of cheese and pizza sauce and more veggies.
