Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Proteins
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 pound Sausage
- 6 ounces Pepperoni
Cheeses
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup Pizza Sauce
- 1 package Pie Dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the store-bought pie dough soften for about 10 minutes, then press it into a deep-dish pie pan. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and pre-bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Cook the Meat Mixture: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and sausage, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sauté the meat mixture until browned thoroughly, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the pre-baked crust. Layer half of the mozzarella cheese on top, then evenly distribute the cooked meat mixture. Spoon another layer of pizza sauce followed by the remaining mozzarella cheese. Scatter pepperoni slices across the top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the Pie: Place the assembled pie in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm to enjoy the rich flavors and gooey cheeses.
Notes
- This savory pie is ideal for meal prepping and stores well in the refrigerator for a few days.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or an air fryer to restore crispiness and melty cheese texture.
- For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for beef and turkey pepperoni instead of regular pepperoni.
- Pie dough can be homemade for a personal touch or store-bought for convenience.
