For serving
15 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional
16 -
Extra warm pizza sauce, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
02 -
Cook the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat, until browned and no longer pink. Drain off excess fat.
03 -
Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and pizza sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, just until the sauce thickens slightly around the beef.
04 -
Spread the beef mixture in the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle with parmesan, 3/4 cup mozzarella, and about half of the pepperoni.
05 -
Whisk the biscuit baking mix, milk, and eggs in a bowl until combined and pourable. Pour evenly over the beef mixture.
06 -
Scatter the remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella and remaining pepperoni over the top.
07 -
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is puffed and golden and a knife inserted near the center comes out without wet batter. Rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing.
08 -
Sprinkle with parsley if using and serve with extra warm pizza sauce on the side.
# Good to know:
01 -
Let the pie rest before slicing for cleaner wedges.
02 -
Cook ground beef to 160°F for food safety.
03 -
A 9-inch deep pie plate works best.
