I don't know about you, but planning ahead is half the battle for me. I know that when I plan ahead what I am going to eat I do a much better job of staying on plan. However, I do not always do that, even though I know I should! (Just being honest!)

About two weeks ago I decided it would be a good idea to keep cooked hamburger in my refrigerator for quick and easy lunches. That, I must say, was a marvelous idea! I have used it several times for taco meat, cheeseburger salad, and for this amazing recipe I am sharing today - this delicious Pizza Bowl!

It only takes about 10 minutes to fry up a couple pounds of hamburger (or venison in my case), and it is so handy to have in the fridge, just waiting for your culinary imaginations! This easy recipe is a great example!

Most people love pizza, and I am no exception. My absolute favorite low-carb pizza crust recipe is the Perfect Pizza Crust (page 211 in the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook). I love that recipe, but I don't always want to take the time to make it (lazy or Drive Through Sue - you decide). That is where the idea for this recipe comes in - an easy microwaveable pizza bowl that gives you all the flavor in just a couple of minutes (providing you have the burger already cooked).

I may or may not have had this three times this past week! I used hamburger, but this would be really amazing with cooked Italian sausage!

      Does the Great Value pizza sauce, taste like water? Generic stuff is so watered down, taste awful.
      Thank you

    I notice that I eat better when I can plan ahead, too. I have been keeping cooked hamburger in the freezer for a fast dinner, but I didn't think about putting in the fridge for lunch. I love this idea and all of that cheesy goodness!

        I love this easy recipe! The only thing I do different, is I bake at 350 for 15 minutes. It lets the flavors meld and tastes more like a bubbly, gooey cheesy pizza. I make 2 servings and the leftovers are even better!

    I love, love, love pizza, but where are all the carbs coming from? The meats have none. Minimal on the cheese and 3 net or the 1/4 cup of sauce. Is it a double recipe? Thanks :), love all your recipes and your enthusiasm.

      The nutritional information is calculated using 1/2 cup of pizza sauce. The 1/2 cup of sauce has 8 carbs total (not net). So that is where the majority of the carbs are coming from. 🙂

        Could I saute some mushroom in some butter and add this to my pizza bowl or would I be pushing the carbs or fat grams too high?

    Another idea for hamburger...I "brown" it in my crockpot! Just drop it in, stir it a couple of times during cooking, and voila! Browned meat, no splattery mess! Yes, I have even dropped the chunk of solidly frozen meat in the crockpot and it does just fine. Oh, and the paddle of the mixer that shreds chicken nicely will nicely chunk up the ground meat, also.
