Ingredients
→ Crust
1 box ready-made pie crusts (2 crusts)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
→ Filling
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces Italian sausage (casings removed)
1 cup pepperoni slices, divided
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup shredded cheddar or provolone cheese
1 1/2 cups pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
In a large skillet, cook ground beef and sausage over medium-high heat until no pink remains (5–7 minutes). Drain fat and let cool slightly.
Unroll one pie crust and press it into a deep-dish pie pan, allowing dough to hang over the edge.
Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella over the bottom crust.
Add the meat mixture on top of the cheese. Layer 3/4 cup of the pepperoni slices evenly over the meat.
Pour the pizza or marinara sauce over the filling. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
Top with remaining 1 cup mozzarella and 1 cup cheddar or provolone cheese. Add remaining pepperoni slices on top.
Unroll the second crust and place over the pie. Trim excess, fold edges under, and crimp decoratively. Cut slits for steam.
Mix melted butter with remaining 1/2 tsp garlic powder and brush over the top crust.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Resting helps the filling set and prevents a messy slice.
You can substitute turkey or plant-based meat alternatives if preferred.
For a spicy version, use hot Italian sausage and extra red pepper flakes.
