Frequently Asked Questions
What is a meatza?
A meatza, or meatzza, is a pizza that uses ground beef for the crust instead of pizza dough. Meatzas are perfect for those on a low-carb or Keto diet, or for anyone following a gluten-free diet.
Why does this recipe use a wire baking rack?
We recommend using a wire baking rack when baking the burger crusts. The meat will release drippings and grease during cooking; the wire rack keeps your crust out of the grease. If you don’t have access to a wire baking rack, you can cook the burger crusts directly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Or, you can cook the burger crusts in a large skillet on the stovetop. The stovetop method will take longer, as you’ll only be able to cook 1-2 crusts at a time.
Is the egg required in the burger crust?
The egg works as a binder to help keep the meat together when baking. You can omit the egg from this recipe if you can’t eat eggs. The burger crusts will be harder to shape without the egg. You can also use a flax egg as a substitute. (1 tablespoon ground flax seed or flax seed meal and 2.5 tablespoon water. Mix in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes before use.)
Is this low-carb burger meatza recipe Keto?
Yes! With 8 grams of net carbs per serving, this burger meatza is a good choice if you’re following a Keto diet.
Is burger meatza gluten-free?
Yes, this burger meatza recipe is gluten-free.
Storage and Reheating Guidelines
- Make-ahead: To make burgers ahead of time, mix the meat ingredients together and shape each burger patty. Separate the burger patties with parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
- Storing leftovers: Store leftover burgers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Leftovers should be eaten within 3-4 days.
- Freezing instructions: These burgers freeze well! Assemble up through shaping the burger patties, separate patties with parchment paper, and store in an air-tight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- To reheat: Reheat burgers on the stovetop, oven, or in the microwave. Burgers should only be reheated once. More than once, the meat will turn rubbery and won’t taste fresh.
