Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 pound Sausage
- 6 ounces Pepperoni
Cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
Sauce and Base
- 1 cup Pizza Sauce
- 1 package Pie Dough
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using store-bought pie dough, let it soften for about 10 minutes, then press it into a deep-dish pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and pre-bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Cook the meat mixture: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and sausage, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sauté the mixture until browned and cooked through, about 7–10 minutes.
- Layer the pie: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the pre-baked crust. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese on top, then evenly distribute the cooked meat mixture. Spoon another layer of pizza sauce and more mozzarella cheese over the meat, then scatter pepperoni slices and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey for a lighter version of the meat mixture.
- For a milder flavor, omit pepperoni or use turkey pepperoni instead.
- Provolone or cheddar cheese can be used alternately with mozzarella.
- Homemade pie dough can be used to add a personal touch instead of store-bought dough.
- Allowing the pie to rest after baking ensures cleaner slices and enhances the flavors.
