Remember Totino’s frozen pizzas? Being a celiac, frozen pizza -- like most junk food -- is all but a memory to me. I haven’t been down that freezer aisle in ages.
But even in my healthiest of health food days, those pizzas were a guilty pleasure. Whatever that ground beef and pepperoni was made of seemed to cure a college hangover too.
Back in the day, you could buy those personal-sized pizzas for no more than a couple bucks. I’m guessing that a lot of people have lived off those things at one time or another.
By default (once again), I created something that tastes similar yet much, much healthier. I’m in pizza shock, really.
How to make a fake Totino’s pizza, gluten-free style:
- I used Udi’s frozen pizza crust because I prefer thin crust.
- Apply a light layer of pizza sauce (I used marinara sauce from Cossetta’s).
- Cook 1 cup of grass-fed ground beef. Season well with basil, parsley, chives, minced onions, garlic salt, and black pepper. Add cooked beef to sauce. Note: Meat is optional
- Add chopped celery, red pepper, mushrooms, onion, and black olives.
- Cook in oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
- Eat as though you’re back in college (try Bard’s gluten-free beer).
Where to find: Kowalski’s
Cost: $5.19
