This is one of those recipes that you make according to your taste and what ingredients you have in the house.
When I made this recipe for five people to have with a salad, I used about two pounds of ground beef.
You can make this a small pizza for just you or a giant pizza to share by adjusting the amount of beef. Anyway you make it has the potential to be your favorite new recipe.

Meat Crust Pizza in Restaurants?
I took photo of the pizza slice above and below at a restaurant Julie recommended, Roma, which is in East Hartford. The owner Emilia was a client of Julie's and she will make this pizza for you but you must call and order it a day or two ahead. There are two size options, we chose the largest and had plenty of leftovers to take home. Excellent service.
