Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 pound ground hamburger (lean and flavorful)
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (spicy or mild, as preferred)
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cheese and Sauce

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • Pepperoni slices (about 30-40 slices)

Crust and Seasonings

  • 1 deep-dish pie crust (flaky or buttery; gluten-free option available)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the meat filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground hamburger and Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain excess fat, then stir in diced onions, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Cook until onions soften. Mix in the pizza sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
  2. Assemble the crust and filling: Roll out your pie crust and place it in a deep-dish pie pan, pressing the edges firmly. Spread a layer of mozzarella cheese on the bottom to create a melty base. Spoon the warm meat mixture evenly over the cheese. Layer pepperoni slices on top, then sprinkle with another generous handful of mozzarella cheese.
  3. Bake until golden and bubbly: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled pie for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow it to set.

Notes

  • Drain excess grease from the meat mixture before baking to prevent sogginess.
  • Use fresh, high-quality hamburger and Italian sausage for best flavor and texture.
  • Keep the pie crust chilled before baking to ensure flaky and crispy edges.
  • Do not overload the filling to avoid uneven cooking or the pie falling apart.
  • Allow the pie to rest before cutting to let the filling set and prevent spilling.
