6️⃣ Prepare the Toppings: Cook ground beef over medium heat, drain excess fat, and set aside.
7️⃣ Assemble the Pizza: Spread low-carb pizza sauce over the crust, add shredded cheese, and top with cooked beef.
8️⃣ Final Bake: Bake again for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9️⃣ Cool & Serve: Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.
