Ingredients
  

Keto Pizza Crust

  • 1½ cups 170 g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz 56 g cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup 75 g almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cheeseburger Topping

  • 1 lb 450 g ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Bacon & Cheese Layer

  • 6 –8 slices beef bacon cooked and chopped
  • Turkey or chicken bacon may be used as an alternative
  • 1½ cups 170 g shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup 55 g shredded mozzarella cheese

Optional Toppings (Keto-Friendly)

  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped dill pickles
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
  • 1 –2 teaspoons sugar-free mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. While the oven heats, prepare the crust dough by mixing the melted mozzarella and cream cheese until smooth, then stirring in the almond flour, egg, and seasonings until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough feels warm, that’s normal—just let it rest for a minute so it’s easier to handle.
  • Place the dough onto the prepared parchment paper and gently press it into a thin, round pizza shape, keeping the center evenly thin and the edges slightly thicker for support. Slide it into the oven and bake for about 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden on top. Remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the toppings.
  • While the crust bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Season it with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, then drain off any excess fat if needed. In the same or a separate pan, cook the beef bacon until crispy, then chop it into bite-size pieces.
  • Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the pre-baked crust, making sure each slice will get a good amount of topping. Sprinkle the chopped beef bacon over the beef, then finish with an even layer of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, covering the toppings without piling everything too high.
  • Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and lightly golden in spots. If you like a slightly crispier top, you can switch the oven to broil for the last 1–2 minutes, keeping a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly, which makes slicing much easier. Cut into slices using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, then serve warm and enjoy every cheesy, satisfying bite.
