Ingredients Method

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)

Method
 

Prep & Cook Meat
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  1. 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.
  2. Roll out the pie crust and press it gently into a standard pie dish.
  3. Pour the warm meat filling into the pie crust and spread it evenly, then top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.
  5. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped basil, let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
