  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage together until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
  4. Season the meat mixture with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and Parmesan cheese until fully mixed.
  6. Press the meat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base of the pie.
  7. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the meat base.
  8. Layer the pepperoni slices on top of the sauce.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are set.
  11. Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can swap ground beef for ground chicken or turkey to reduce fat content.
  • Add your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, olives, or jalapeños.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat slices in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes to keep the cheese from getting rubbery.
  • This dish freezes well. Wrap individual slices and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Make sure to drain the meat well to avoid a watery pie.
