Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, sausage, and onion together until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to develop flavor.
Line a deep 9-inch pie dish with the pie crust. If you prefer a crispier base, pre-bake the crust for 5–7 minutes before filling.
Spread half of the meat mixture into the crust, then layer with half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat with the remaining meat and cheese.
Arrange pepperoni slices on top and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.
Brush the edges of the crust with beaten egg to give it a glossy finish when baked.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve.
Garnish with red pepper flakes or chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with extra marinara for dipping.

Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling.
Veggie Boost: Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
Cheese Swap: Try a blend of provolone and mozzarella, or use smoked gouda for a deeper flavor.
Crustless Option: Bake the filling in a casserole dish without crust for a lower-carb version.

Make ahead: Prepare the meat mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to assemble and bake.
Reheat like a pro: Warm leftover slices in the oven or toaster oven to keep the crust crisp.
Serving idea: Pair with a light green salad and vinaigrette to balance the richness of the pie.
For a crowd: Double the recipe and bake in a large rectangular baking dish to feed more guests.

This deep dish pizza pie delivers bold, comforting flavors in every slice—perfect for when you want all the joy of pizza in a warm, handheld crust.
