: Deep Hamburger Sausage Pepperoni Bake (Meaty, Cheesy & Over-the-Top Delicious) 🍕🧀🔥

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

8. Layer 1: Spread half of the meat sauce evenly across the base.
9. Layer 2: Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
10. Layer 3: Arrange a generous layer of pepperoni slices.
11. Repeat the layers: remaining meat sauce → more cheese → more pepperoni.
12. Top Layer: Finish with the last of the mozzarella and Parmesan.

Step 4: Bake

13. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
14. Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
15. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a crispy, browned cheese top.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

16. Let the bake rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing — this helps the layers set.
17. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil just before serving.
