How I came up with this recipe idea

With just two of us living in our home, it can be hard to deal with leftovers. And, since our ground venison comes in 1-1/2 to 2 lb packages from the processor, I usually try to divide it up between meals, or make a large batch recipe that I can repurpose.

That is how this Venison Meatball Pizza came to life! I had made Venison Meatball Alfredo for our dinner one evening, and the next day, I decided to turn the leftovers into this meatball pizza!

It’s as easy as pie to make! Pizza Pie that is!

This recipe is so easy and so delicious. Not to mention, it is pretty darned eye appealing also! Just start with my recipe for Low Carb Pizza Crust Recipe, or if you aren’t particular about your carbs, you can try this pizza dough recipe on Grumpy’s Honeybunch.

I don’t always put a sauce on my pizza recipes, but for this Meatball Pizza, I did spread a thin layer of alfredo sauce over top.

I usually will add a smaller amount of cheese to my low carb pizza recipes. Because there is already a lot of cheese in the dough itself, I don’t want to cheese overload. Therefore, I usually use about 1 cup of cheese to top and spread it out evenly.

After the alfredo sauce and cheese have been added to the pizza crust, I will break up the meatballs and add them to the top with some of the leftover mushrooms that was in the alfredo recipe.

Now the pizza is ready to bake. It will only be in the oven another 10 to 15 minutes. Just long enough for the cheese to melt.

I like to sprinkle some green on top of my meatball pizza to give it some color. For this particular recipe, I went with Arugula. I love the spicy bite to it and thought it would go really well with our pizza!

What to serve with Venison Meatball Pizza
