My biggest obstacle is not the sugary sweets...it is the starchy carbs. I love pizza, bread, potatoes, etc.

When I find a good pizza replacement that fills my craving for it, that will make a huge difference! I miss pizza already, and it is just the first day.

This is where I come in and save you.

I make something that looks like this.



Brown 1 or 2 lbs of hamburger (seasoned to your taste)
Drain
Put back in pan
Add tomatoes / tomato sauce (optional)
Let cook on the burner on low for maybe 10 min (let the liquids in the tomatoes reduce a little)
Cover in mozzarella shredded cheese and pepperoni
Put in oven under broiler for 5-6 min to melt cheese

p.s. In the pic I only used 1 lb of hamburger meat, it was a wide pan though so it looks flat. I cook 2 lbs in that pan now.

That looks really good. Will give it a try, and may even add in some Italian sausage too. Love the way the cheese browned, I think using the broiler must make a big difference.

Thanks!

Yep, sometimes I do 1 lbs of hamburger and 1 lb of sausage.

The browning of the cheese is crucial in any faux-pizza.

Made this tonight with ground turkey, garlic, onion and black olives. It was great and the kids liked it too.
