Today my friend and colleague, Dr. Amy Myers, is sharing her comforting Meatza Pie recipe with us. Now you can satisfy your pizza cravings without any guilt! The grass-fed meats that form the crust are rich in zinc which strengthens the immune system and nourishes the gut.

Ingredients
-
Crust:
- 1 pound ground grass-fed bison

Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Make the crust. Place the bison and ground beef into a large mixing bowl and add the remaining crust ingredients. Mix until thoroughly com- bined.
Step 3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture on the baking sheet to make one large crust or two evenly sized crusts.
Step 4
Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the crust from the oven and evenly spread the pesto over the crust(s). Then place your toppings of choice onto the crust(s).
Step 6
Put the pizza(s) back in the oven and cook until vegetables are crisp and the meat is fully cooked - about 15 to 20 more minutes.
Step 7
Cut into wedges and serve while hot!
