2 Paleo Pizza: The Meatza

This "meatza" is the Paleo version of pizza! Basically, it is a pizza with meat instead of pizza crust! Crazy, right. . . but it is SO good. . . so good in fact that Nate had to have seconds!
Ahhhmmaaazzzzingggg. . . 
Paleo Pizza: The Meatza
Crust:
1 pound lean ground beef (I used ground turkey)
1 pound ground pork
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Topping
6 slices bacon, cut in 1 inch pieces
3/4 pound button mushrooms, slicd
1 cup bell peppers thinly sliced
1 cup sugar-free tomato sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
(I used bell peppers, red onions, and pepperoni instead of bacon and mushrooms)
1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees
2. In a bowl, mix the ground meat with the onion, garlic, egg, salt and pepper
3. Spread the mixture on a 16 inch pizza pan and bake for 10 minutes (I baked the crust in a 13x9 in pyrex and baked it for 20 min)
4. While the crust cooks, heat a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the bacon for about 5 minutes so it's still a bit soft.
5. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until they are almost cooked.
6. Add the bell peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes. (I sauteed the bell peppers and onions in olive oil)
7. Remove the crust from the oven and pour out the juices when can be reserved for other recipes. At this point the crust will have shrunk a bit.
8. Preheat your oven broiler
9. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust and spread the bacon, mushrooms and bell peppers on top of the sauce. Sprinkle with the oregano.
10. Put the pizza back under the broiler and broil until the top starts to brown.
