Deep Hamburger Beef Sausage & Pepperoni Pie – A Meaty, Cheesy Comfort Classic

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your pie crust bakes evenly and achieves that golden, flaky perfection.

Step 2: Cook the Meat

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and beef sausage. Break them apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7–10 minutes.
3. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with flavor.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

4. Place the unbaked deep-dish pie crust into a deep pie pan or oven-safe dish. Press it gently to fit evenly along the bottom and sides.
5. Begin layering your pie:
   • Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the crust base.
   • Add half of the cooked meat mixture and spread it evenly.
   • Spoon half of the pizza sauce over the meat layer and spread it gently with the back of a spoon.
   • Top with half of the pepperoni slices.
6. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients — meat, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni — for a rich, stacked pie that’s full of flavor.

Step 4: Bake the Pie
