  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using Impossible burger, follow same instructions as ground beef in Steps 2 and 3, covering and cooking until meatballs are heated through, 5-6 minutes.

  • If using ground pork, follow same instructions as ground beef in Steps 2 and 3, covering and cooking until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 5-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Par-Bake the Flatbreads

    Place flatbreads directly on oven rack in hot oven and bake until lightly browned, 6-8 minutes.

    While flatbreads par-bake, make meatballs.

  2. 2

    Make the Meatballs

    Mix ground beef, panko, and a pinch of pepper in a mixing bowl. Form into eight equally-sized meatballs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium high heat with 2 tsp. olive oil. Add meatballs to hot pan and roll occasionally until browned on all sides, 8-10 minutes.

    Add spinach and stir occasionally until spinach is wilted, 3-4 minutes.

    Stir in marinara, seasoning blend, a pinch of salt, and 2 Tbsp. water. Flatten meatballs. Don't worry if they break down a bit more!

    Cover, and cook until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Bake the Pizzas
