Italian Beef Pie Dinner image

Bakes like meatloaf, tastes like pizza! Delicious, easy, fast, and low-carb. Prep time does not include shredding or waiting for the zucchini to "sweat."

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium zucchini, peeled and shredded
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb extra lean ground beef (90% lean)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons sliced mushrooms (optional) or 2 tablespoons olives (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix the salt into the shredded zucchini. Let sit for 15 minutes then drain thoroughly.
  • Mix the zucchini and olive oil into the beef, and then shape the beef into a flat circle in a greased 9" pie pan. (Leave a little room between the edge of the pan and the beef, so any extra fat can drain there).
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella over the beef, then top the mozzarella in layers with first the tomatos, then the mushrooms or olives if you are using them,then the herbs,then the parmesan. I sometimes use extra dried herbs and parmesan, because I like them (a lot!).
  • Bake the dish in a 350 degree oven for appx 40 minutes, or till beef is cooked through and parmesan is slightly browned.
  • Slice into wedges and serve.
