Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pepperoni Meatza Bake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450ยฐF (230ยฐC).
Step 2
In a small bowl, blend together salt, oregano, garlic salt, black pepper, caraway seeds (if you choose to include them), and red pepper flakes (if desired) to create a flavorful seasoning mix.
Step 3
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine ground beef with beaten eggs, ensuring they are well integrated.
Step 4
Stir in Parmesan cheese along with your prepared seasoning blend, mixing until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 5
Firmly press the beef mixture into a 12x17-inch baking pan, shaping it into a crust.
Step 6
Bake this savory base in your preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink.
Step 7
Once done, carefully drain any excess grease from the pan.
Step 8
Next, adjust your oven rack to about 6 inches from the heat source and switch on the broiler.
Step 9
Generously sprinkle one-third of the mozzarella cheese over the baked beef crust, followed by a smooth layer of tomato sauce.
Step 10
Add another third of the mozzarella on top, then artfully arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese.
Step 11
Finally, crown your creation with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Step 12
Broil in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely until the mozzarella is melted, bubbling, and beautifully golden brown.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the mouthwatering result of your culinary efforts!.
