Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ready-bake pie crusts (approx. 450 g total)
- 200 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 100 g shredded cheddar cheese or provolone cheese
- 225 g ground beef
- 225 g Italian sausage, casings removed
- 100 g pepperoni slices
- 350 ml pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, plus extra for topping
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 45 ml melted butter
Instructions
- Cook ground beef and Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain excess fat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Roll out one pie crust to fit a deep-dish pie pan or deep skillet. Layer half of the mozzarella cheese over the bottom crust.
- Distribute the cooked meat mixture and half of the pepperoni slices over the mozzarella. Pour pizza sauce or marinara over the filling.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes over the sauce. Top with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar or provolone cheese.
- Arrange the remaining pepperoni slices over the cheese. Place the second pie crust over the filling and crimp edges to seal.
- Brush the top crust with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Let rest before slicing.
Notes
- Customize meats and cheeses to your preference.
- Add more red pepper flakes for a spicier dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven.
