Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • 1 lb Ground Hamburger
  • 1 lb Italian Sausage
  • 1 cup Pepperoni Slices

Cheese & Dairy

  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 Egg (for egg wash)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 1 cup Tomato Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Crust

  • 2 Pie Crusts (one for bottom, one for top – use gluten-free if desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Brown the ground hamburger and Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  2. Assemble the Pie Crust: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a pie dish, trimming any excess edges. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on the bottom to create a melty base that helps prevent sogginess.
  3. Layer the Filling: Evenly spread the cooked meat mixture over the mozzarella layer. Arrange a generous layer of pepperoni slices evenly on top of the meat. Finally, cover the pepperoni with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Top with Crust and Bake: Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal the pie and cut slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking. Brush the crust with an egg wash to ensure a golden, shiny finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  5. Rest Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes after baking to let the layers set, which helps maintain the pie’s structure when slicing.

Notes

  • Drain properly: Remove excess grease from cooked meats to avoid a soggy crust.
  • Use cold ingredients: Keep butter and dough cold for a flaky, tender crust.
  • Balance spices: Adjust seasoning carefully to complement the pepperoni’s heat without overpowering.
  • Let it rest: Allow pie to cool before slicing to keep layers intact.
  • Choose quality meats: Fresh, high-quality sausage and pepperoni improve the flavor.
