# Ingredients:
→ For the Crust
01 -
1 box ready-made pie crust (2 crusts)
02 -
3 tablespoons butter, melted
03 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder (for brushing crust)
→ For the Filling
04 -
½ pound ground beef
05 -
½ pound Italian sausage, casings removed
06 -
1 cup pepperoni slices, divided
07 -
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
08 -
1 cup cheddar or provolone cheese, shredded
09 -
1½ cups pizza sauce or marinara
10 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
11 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder
12 -
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
# Directions:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage together, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
02 -
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to allow adequate time for the oven to reach temperature while assembling the pie.
03 -
Unroll one of the pie crusts and carefully press it into a deep-dish pie pan (at least 2 inches deep), allowing the excess to hang over the edges.
04 -
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom crust. Spread the browned meat mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Layer about ¾ cup of the pepperoni slices over the meat mixture. Spread the pizza sauce or marinara evenly and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).
