🍕Cheeseburger Pizza Carnivore Style
If there are two foods my family never says no to, it’s cheeseburgers and pizza. So when a friend told me about combining the two into a carnivore-friendly recipe, I knew I had to try it. At first, I wasn’t sure how a pizza without traditional dough would turn out, but after making it last weekend, I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation.
The smell alone was enough to get everyone into the kitchen. A savory beef crust, layers of melted cheese, crispy bacon, and juicy burger toppings transformed into something that tasted like a cheeseburger and pizza had the most delicious baby imaginable. My family devoured it, and there wasn’t a slice left by the end of dinner.
Now, whenever I’m craving comfort food while staying carnivore or keto-friendly, this Cheeseburger Pizza Carnivore Style is one of my favorite weekend treats.
