Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie
A savory, deep-dish pizza pie loaded with ground beef, Italian sausage, pepperoni, marinara sauce, and gooey melted mozzarella cheese baked inside a flaky pie crust.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust homemade or store-bought
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage optional
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prep & Cook Meat
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the meat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Assemble & Bake
- Stir the marinara sauce and pepperoni slices into the skillet. Let the filling simmer on low heat for 3 to 5 minutes to let the flavors combine.
- Roll out the pie crust and press it gently into a standard pie dish.
- Pour the warm meat filling into the pie crust and spread it evenly, then top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped basil, let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
