Is ground beef a pizza topping where you live?

[Anonymous]

My grandma in Chicago always put crumbled ground beef, green peppers, and onions on her homemade pizza. It was really good! She didn't like pork products, so it makes sense. Now I kind of want that . . .

Of course it is.

How else would you get a traditional none pizza with left beef if they didn't offer beef?

Where I come from, ground beef on pizza was something that was preferred by certain demographics.

I could agree with you if it was pineapples topping.

Sounds ... like ...some weird version of orthorexia...

Oh stop with that. There are so many reasons people don't eat pork. A lot of people have to pick and choose and don't need to explain anything to you.

The delusional people on here that don’t realize they too are prole kill me.

I’ve never heard of this and would not order it. I don’t like ground beef crumbles.

When I was a kid in the midwest my mom would make pizzas from a boxed kit--kit had flour with yeast in it, a tiny can of tomato sauce, a packet of parmesan cheese. Her topping were either ground beef or sliced hot dogs.

This. Grew up outside Boston and it was my dad's favorite topping

I didn’t realize this was some sort of New England thing like lime rickeys, jimmies and frappes? I thought it was normal?

Also grew up outside of Boston and my go to Pizza was always mushroom onion hamburger and extra cheese.

It’s no different than other toppings

It’s not very flavorful.

It’s seasoned. Just like seasoned ground pork magically becomes sausage topping.

It's pretty strange though and likely based on misinformation. There's nothing inherently unhealthy about pork. It's high protein and certain cuts are some of the leanest meats you can get - pork tenderloin has about the same fat content as chicken breast. Even fattier cuts are perfectly fine to eat in moderation.

I could understand saying "I don't eat meat for health reasons," because despite the fact that there is nothing inherently unhealthy about any meat, it certainly makes it easier to limit caloric intake and increase micronutrient intake on a plant based diet, but saying "I don't eat pork for health reasons" (implying that they do eat other meat) makes no more sense than saying "I don't eat tomatoes for health reasons."

Oh man, I haven’t thought about those kits in years! Every once in a while, when my mom needed an easy meal, she’d use the Chef Boyardee pizza kit. This was in the Midwest in the late 70s. It wasn’t good pizza, but we ate it. It looks like the kits are still sold.
