Deep Hamburger Sausage Pepperoni Pie (Print Version)

Thick pie stuffed with beef, sausage, pepperoni, zesty red sauce, and tons of melty cheese.

# Ingredients:

→ Topping

01 - 45 ml melted butter to brush over the crust

→ Seasonings

02 - 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if you like some heat)
03 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, plus a bit more for dusting the crust
04 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

→ Sauce

05 - 350 ml jarred pizza sauce or marinara sauce

→ Meats

06 - 100 g sliced pepperoni
07 - 225 g Italian sausage, casing tossed (optional)
08 - 225 g ground beef

→ Cheeses

09 - 100 g of shredded cheddar or use provolone if you want
10 - 200 g grated mozzarella cheese

→ Crust

11 - 2 pre-made pie crusts (from 1 box, about 450 g all together)

# Instructions:

01 - Let your pie hang out for a few minutes after it comes outta the oven. This helps everything settle. Then grab a sharp knife, slice it up, and enjoy while it's nice and warm.
02 - Pop your pie on the center rack and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The crust should be golden and the cheesy top all bubbly.
03 - Lay your last pie crust over the top. Squeeze or pinch the edges shut so the filling doesn’t spill out. Brush the top with melted butter. Toss on a little more garlic powder if you’d like.
04 - Now, layer on the rest of your mozzarella and all of your shredded cheddar or provolone. If you saved extra pepperoni slices, spread ‘em over the top.
05 - Pour your pizza or marinara sauce all over the meats and pepperoni. Then shake on Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a little red pepper if you want a bit of zing.
06 - Toss the cooked ground beef plus Italian sausage, and half of your pepperoni over that cheese. Try to spread it out so every bite has a bit of everything.
07 - Take one pie crust and shape it to fit your deep dish pan or skillet. Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese all over the bottom.
08 - Fire up your oven to 220°C (that’s 425°F) so it’s ready when you are.
09 - Heat a skillet on medium. Toss in sausage and ground beef and cook until no pink is left. Get rid of extra grease and let it cool off just a bit.

# Notes:

01 - Pop your pie pan on a really hot baking stone for extra crunch on the bottom crust.
