Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ pound beef sausage
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 unbaked deep-dish pie crust
- 1 cup pizza sauce (or marinara)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Meat
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and beef sausage over medium heat. Drain excess fat, then season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Build the Pie Layers
Place the unbaked deep-dish pie crust in a pie pan. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the crust. Add half of the cooked meat mixture, then spread half of the pizza sauce. Layer half the pepperoni slices. Repeat with remaining meat, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust edges are golden brown.
Step 4: Rest & Serve
Let the pie cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to cut neat slices.
Tips & Variations
- Spicy version: Use hot Italian sausage and spicy pepperoni.
- Add veggies: Layer in bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions for a supreme-style pie.
- Cheese blend: Mix mozzarella with provolone or cheddar for extra flavor.
- Make it low-carb: Skip the crust and bake the layers in a greased casserole dish.
