Make this carnivore keto meatza cheesy or keep it dairy-free, however you like it best, this dish is a win for the whole family! The hidden beef heart blends in flawlessly, so it’s a great option for those new to eating nose to tail. This might be a new family favorite!
Mixing the beef heart in with ground beef enhances the nutritional value and flavor of the meat pie and makes it taste amazing. Organ meats provide many health benefits and are very affordable foods.
This is a low-carb, gluten-free, and grain-free recipe that is keto diet approved. With a few simple modifications, you can make this exclusively animal-based, great for those who like carnivore diet recipes.
The savory coconut flour crust is very easy to work with and can be prepared in under 5 minutes. This crust has been my “go-to” crust for savory dishes like quiches, pot pies and other meat pies.
It’s a kid-friendly beef heart MEATZA! (Recipe video here)
Serve with a side salad and dressing or cauliflower rice. It feels good to be able to make something nutritious that the whole family can enjoy together. I love when everyone paused their activity, sits down and nourishes themselves together.
If you enjoy a fiber-free carnivore diet, just bake the filling and omit the crust.
Cheese it up!
If you or anyone in your family (like children!) are really into cheese, you can spread 1.5 to 2 cups of shredded cheese all over the top. As you can see in the video below, I topped half with cheese and left half with just meat.
Custom Keto Meatza with your favorite flavors
Both the crust and the filling are very customizable. You can probably make this recipe with whatever you have on hand in the fridge.
For the filling: onions, garlic, fresh herbs, mushrooms, leafy greens, spinach, bell pepper, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto
For the crust: rosemary and garlic powder, oregano powder, thyme leaf, poppy seeds

Eating Beef Heart?
YES! Mixing ground organs like grass-fed beef heart and grass-fed beef liver with ground beef is my favorite way to provide extra nutrition for my family. We can regularly consume organ meats with ease and pleasure.

I recommend purchasing from US Wellness Meats if you want to order meat online. They offer high-quality bulk ground beef, grass-fed liver and a ground beef/heart mixture.

I’ve experimented with dried basil. About 1/4 cup of dried basil replaces 1/2 cup of fresh. Delicious either way!
