50 g (2 oz) pizza topping sauce

Method


  1. To make the Meatza you'll need pre-heat an oven to 230 degrees Celsius (450℉).
  2. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a frying pan on a medium heat and fry one of the onions.
  3. Once cooked add the cooked onion to a large mixing bowl along with the pork mince, beef mince, egg, oats and half of the mixed herbs and season with salt. Get your hands in and make sure it's all nicely mushed together.
  4. Flatten out the meat mixture on a baking tray so it covers the tray and is around 2-3cm thick then place the Meatza base in the oven for around 15 Minutes until the juices run clear and it's cooked through.
  5. While the base is cooking, heat the second tsp of olive oil in a large frying pan on medium heat and cook the second onion, peppers and bacon medallions for 5 to 10 minutes until cooked through. Once done, set aside.
  6. Remove the Meatza base from the oven, drain any liquid if necessary then cover it with the tomato pizza sauce and spread it out, just like you would on any normal pizza.
  7. Add the cooked bacon, onions and peppers on top, scatter the mixed herbs then sprinkle a thin layer of the cheese over everything then place under a grill for 5 ninutes for the cheese to melt before serving.
