Here is a fabulous LowCarb recipe of a popular meal... Hope you love it!
Low Carb Deep Dish Meat Crust Pizza
     
I don't believe anything can exactly replace a bread crust, however, in this case the flavor is pretty damned close.. Ha!

     CRUST
          3 lbs lean ground beef
          1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated
          3 large eggs
          1 med. onion, finely chopped, or 1/2 cup dried minced onion
          2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, or substitute 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
          1 Tbs. salt
          3/4 tsp. black pepper
          3/4 tsp. fennel seed

     SAUCE
          2 1/4 cups plum tomatoes, chopped and drained , or 2 x 8 oz cans of tomato sauce
          1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper seed
          1 tsp. dried oregano, or 1 Tbls. fresh
          2 Tbs. fresh basil, or 2 teaspoons dry
          salt & pepper  to taste

     TOPPING
          1/2 lb. mozzarella cheese, shredded, or Provolone
          sausage or pepperoni (optional)
          oregano
          3 Tbs. Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated

     Preheat oven to 375.
     1) Mix all crust ingredients. Separate into 2 pieces and flatten them onto cookie sheets.
     Each should be approx. 1/2" thick when finished.
     2) Bake for 20 min. Drain off accumulated liquids. Return to oven for 10 additional mins., drain again if necessary.
     3) Meanwhile, blend sauce ingredients. Spread over both crusts.
     4) Spread toppings evenly and place back in the oven for about 15 min, or until cheese is lightly browned.
     Remove and let sit about a minute, slice and serve.

Will try your Meat Crust Pizza. Mom (German lady, and great cook who loved to try new recipes) used to call this, or something like it, "Meatzza Pie"

Recipe has been long lost...thanks!

This is the thread you want. Start at the beginning and the crustless pizza is a few from the top.

It ia a great recipe!
