Nancy Awesome Crustless Pizza Reviews Date of last review 21 Mon November 19, 2007 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 95% of reviewers None indicated 9.4 Description: Ingredients: 1/2 lb. hamburger 1/2 lb. italian sausage olive oil italian seasoning pizza sauce (ragu makes one that is very low in carbs) motzarella cheese toppings to taste (I like pepperoni, onion, green pepper and mushrooms) How To Prepare: Preheat oven to 450. Mix hamburger and italian sausage and press in a baking dish (I use 8" x 10"). Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with italian seasoning and a little salt and pepper. Bake until almost done (10 minutes or so, depending on pan size and meat thickness). Remove from oven and top with sauce, toppings and lots of motzarella cheese, sprinkle with a little more italian seasoning. Put back in oven until cheese is golden brown and bubbling. I get requests to make this all the time. Everyone says it tastes just like pizzeria pizza! Number of Servings: 2-4 depending on hunger level Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: not many, most come from the sauce Preparation Time: 10 to prepare, 30 or so to bake. Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Tammy Marie   Posts: 0 see this user's products

	Review Date: Mon February 16, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): This is the best! Cons: Press your sausage and beef cruss as thin as possible. I use an eight by thirteen pan and get the meat crust down to 1/4 thickness. I load the pizza up with onions, black olives, pepperoni and tons of cheese. Every one in the family loves it.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): very flavorful and very good as a leftover Cons: This is a very very good dish. I made it and had plenty to take for leftovers for lunch. Reheated, it was just as tasty. Adding the italian sausage gives it a better flavor that the typical "crustless" recipes there are that just use a hamburger "crust". GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!

karenry Senior LCF Member Registered: July 2003 Location: Northern California Posts: 138	Review Date: Sun April 18, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 4    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Toppings were reminiscient of pizza Cons: The 'crust' Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I could not stand this. Yes, the topping reminded me of pizza, but I couldn't get by the meat 'crust'. I doubt that I will make it again, but if I did I would try to get the crust very, very thin. Ate one piece and tossed the rest.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): tastes like real pizza Cons: none This was fantastic! I made it to take to a pot luck, and people asked my WHY it was called crustless. They didn't even notice the difference.

Pillowtrot MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: January 2004 Location: Chongqing, China Posts: 2191	Review Date: Tue June 1, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: This hits the spot when we want pizza -- it is one of the family favorites. The only trouble I had was that the "crust" shrinks considerably. I roll it out very thin and cover as much area as possible because it always shrinks by about 1/3 when I cook it.

Cons: Thin out that crust!! Great Recipe! The italian sausage is a great mixture along with seasoning. Load up the toppings! We loved it!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): easy to make two at a time Cons: this is great!...i usually make two at a time and save one for the next day...we like sauteed mushrooms, sliced black olives, and a smathering of minced garlic here and there... the ragu brand pizza sauce is great...have made this 6 or 7 times and always get raves!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quick, easy and delicious Cons: doesn't make much, so make two pizzas! Easy and flexible. Even the kids loved it. Not much sauce is necessary. I found Wal-Mart brand pizza sauce to be lowest in carbs and had great flavor.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): easy and super good Cons: the "crust" shrinkage My husband absolutely LOVED this dish - even more than "real" pizza! I think when I make this again, I will increase the amount of hamburger to hopefully have less shrinkage. Very good!!

SkeeterN Way too much time on my hands! Registered: June 2004 Location: West Central Ohio Posts: 18117	Review Date: Tue October 12, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Fantastic! Cons: plan for crust shrinkage I have found that if I use a good sirloin ground beef and the Bob Evans Brand Italian sausage it doesn't shrink as bad as other brands but still shrinks. I purchased 2 pizza pans, the largest Wal-mart had I think might be a 16 inch and the 2 of the next smaller ones which may be a 14. Divide the meat mixture in half and press as flat as possible onto the largest pan and follow instruction for spices and such then bake the 10 minutes. It will shrink as quite a bit but if you then transfer the crust (meat) to the next smaller pan and doctor it up. While it is in baking clean grease off and make a second one. My family wants this so often it's become a staple in my home. Thank you.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Tastes like a real pizza Cons: Shrinkage My husband is the biggest pizza fan out there so I should not have ever made this. (I have to make it now once a week!) It's now easier to keep him on the low-carb diet since this pizza is so much like the real thing.
JadedOne Very Gabby LCF Member!!! Registered: January 2003 Location: Arizona Posts: 4492	Review Date: Mon January 10, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): It tasted alot like the real thing! Cons: I use an 8x10 glass pan to bake mine in. I press the crust meat mixture on the bottom as well as up the sides. Get the mixture as thin as possible. I would even consider using more of a 1/3 &1/3 mixture vs 1/2 and 1/2. This recipie was very good though,and i would definatley make it again!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): tasted great Cons: shrinkage I filled in the places where it shrunk with canadian bacon and just topped it like the rest of the pizza.
oceanna Junior LCF Member Registered: May 2003 Posts: 4	Review Date: Sat May 27, 2006 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great taste Cons: meaty I've made this quite a few times and my (non-lc'ing) family loves it! I use the leanest meats available & then roll it extremely thin to the absolute edges of my pizza pan--not much shrinkage! The only drawback--*I* know the crust is meat and, although I eat meat, I don't like to think about it. lol! Loading it w/ healthy veggie toppings fixes that, though.
c-u-lean Senior LCF Member Registered: March 2006 Posts: 120	Review Date: Fri June 30, 2006 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Yummy Cons: meaty, probably my own fault Very good. I think I used 1/2 pound more meat than it calls for (just cause that is how my meats were packaged). Definately going to reduce it next time. Is the crust supposed to be crispy? That is how I imagined it, but it didn't turn out that way at all.
Dig62 Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2007 Location: PA Posts: 36	Review Date: Mon November 19, 2007 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Very tasty, very filling. Cons: None. This recipe saved my butt today! There's definitely no mistaking this for a traditional crust pizza, but it has enough pizza flavor to kill your craving. I'm thinking of trying it again with taco seasoning in the crust and topping it with salsa, cheddar, shredded lettuce, and sour cream.
