Ingredients
For the Crust:

1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
For the Filling:
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10-12 pepperoni slices (optional)
For Toppings:
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
Extra shredded cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking pan. - Cook the Filling:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant.
Stir in pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Crust:
Roll out the pizza dough slightly larger than your pie dish. Press it into the dish, letting the edges hang over.
Brush the crust with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Assemble the Pie:
Spread half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the crust.
Add the cooked meat filling evenly.
Layer with the remaining cheese and optional pepperoni slices.
- Seal the Pie:
Fold the excess pizza dough over the filling, leaving the center exposed. Pinch the edges to seal.
Top with olives, bell pepper, and red onion.
- Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. - Serve:
Let the pizza burger pie cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve hot with extra pizza sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Enjoy your Pizza Burger Pie – a delightful mashup of your favorite comfort foods!
