Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour A base structure for the crust that supports all the delicious layers inside.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; adjust based on other seasonings.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds aromatic flavor to the crust; fresh garlic works too!
  • ½ cup Cold Unsalted Butter Ensures flakiness and richness; swap with margarine for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 6 tablespoons Cold Water Binds the dough; add gradually for the perfect consistency.
For the Filling
  • 1 pound Ground Beef The main protein that adds depth and flavor; choose lean beef for less grease.
  • 1 pound Italian Sausage Infuses the pie with signature spice; breakfast sausage or ground turkey are great substitutes.
  • 1 medium Onion Provides sweetness; use yellow or white onions for the best results.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic adds aromatic goodness to the mix.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Brings herby flavors to the filling; consider creating your blend for a personalized touch.
  • 1 can Crushed Tomatoes Adds moisture and tomato flavor; fire-roasted varieties deliver an extra kick.
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste Thickens and concentrates flavor; use more crushed tomatoes if you run out.
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar Balances the acidity of the tomatoes; even a small amount can brighten flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Complements the overall flavor; sprinkle into the meat mixture for an extra boost.
For the Cheese Layers
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Melts beautifully; fresh mozzarella gives a delightful stretch.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Adds richness; opt for sharp cheddar for a stronger flavor.
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese A perfect finishing touch for enhanced flavor; fresh is always best!
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Pepperoni Classic pizza spice; thick-cut offers a more substantial bite.
  • Additional Veggies (Optional) Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition.

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a deep 9-inch pie dish to ensure your pie releases easily after baking.
  2. Roll out your pie crust on a lightly floured surface and fit it snugly into the prepared pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork and blind-bake for about 7-8 minutes until slightly golden.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Break apart as it cooks, browning for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, stirring to create a thick mixture. Simmer on low for about 5 minutes.
  6. Spread a layer of meat mixture over the pre-baked crust. Add pepperoni slices, followed by shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
  7. Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice your pie into wedges and serve warm.
