How to Make Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Ingredients:

  • 1 deep-dish pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1⁄2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20–25 pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, and then drain any excess grease.
  3. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce into the bottom of the pie crust. Carefully add the cooked meat mixture on top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and place the pepperoni slices over the cheese. Finish by sprinkling Italian seasoning on top.
  4. Place the pie tin on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 30–35 minutes. The cheese should be melted and golden, and the crust should be nice and crispy.
  5. Once done, let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes. This allows it to set before you slice it into thick, satisfying wedges.

How to Serve Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Serve the pie hot and fresh from the oven. Cut it into wedges and pair it with a side salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal. If you’d like, offer extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Your guests will be sure to enjoy every bite!

How to Store Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The pie will stay fresh for about three days. To reheat, simply place slices in the oven until warmed through, or use a microwave for a quicker option.

Tips to Make Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

  • Feel free to use your favorite pizza toppings! Mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives can add extra flavor.
  • If you like a crispy crust, you can bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the filling.
  • For a spicier kick, try adding some crushed red pepper or spicy sausage.

Variation

For a lighter version, substitute the ground beef and sausage with lean turkey or chicken. You can also use low-fat cheese to reduce calories without sacrificing flavor.

FAQs

1. Can I use a regular pie crust instead of deep-dish?
Yes, you can use a regular pie crust, but the filling may overflow. Make sure to adjust the amounts if necessary.

2. Can I freeze the pie?
Absolutely! You can freeze the unbaked pie. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and it should keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. Bake it straight from frozen but add extra baking time.

3. How do I know when the pie is done?
The pie is done when the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the crust is crispy. You can check to ensure the meat is heated through as well.

Enjoy making your Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie! It’s a fun and delicious dish that everyone will love.
