Ingredients

1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie crust)
250 grams of ground beef
250 grams of Italian sausage (casings removed)
100 grams of pepperoni slices
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
200 grams of shredded mozzarella cheese
100 grams of grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs (beaten, for egg wash)

Step-by-Step

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a deep pie dish.
Prepare the Crust: Roll out one pie crust and gently press it into the bottom and sides of the prepared dish. Let the edges hang over slightly for sealing later.
Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, add ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook over medium heat, breaking apart with a spoon, until well browned (about 6–8 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
Sauté Aromatics: Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble: Layer half the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on the bottom of your pie crust. Spoon the meat mixture over the cheese. Top meat with pepperoni slices, then finish with remaining cheeses.
Cover and Seal: Roll out the second pie crust and lay it over the filling. Pinch the edges with the base crust to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top for steam to escape.
Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish.
Bake: Place the pie in the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is deeply golden and filling bubbles through the slits.
Rest and Serve: Let the pie rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This makes cutting easier and helps the layers set.

What to Serve Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie With=

A hearty pie like this deserves equally tasty companions! Pair your slice with a crisp green salad tossed in Italian vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast. Garlic bread or cheesy breadsticks make for a comforting side, perfect for mopping up any cheesy filling that escapes. For something lighter, try roasted broccoli or steamed green beans. Want to round out the meal? Pair with a glass of fruity red wine or a classic lemonade for the kids. It’s a meal that balances comfort and freshness beautifully.

Top Tips for Perfecting Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Customizable Proteins: Don’t have Italian sausage? Use all ground beef, turkey sausage, or even vegetarian crumbles. Just keep the seasoning robust!
Cheese Choices: No mozzarella? Substitute provolone, cheddar, or a three-cheese pizza blend for extra dimension.
Crust Perfection: If you love an extra flaky crust, brush with cold milk before baking instead of an egg wash.
Avoid Soggy Bottoms: Cool your meat mixture before assembling, and sprinkle a bit of cheese on the bottom to create a barrier between the crust and filling.
Let it Rest: It’s tempting to dig right in, but letting the pie rest makes slicing neater and helps meld the flavors.
Prevent Overbrowning: Cover the edges of your pie with foil halfway through baking if they begin to brown too quickly.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store any leftover pie tightly covered with foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap slices individually in plastic wrap and foil, then store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, or until heated through and the crust re-crisps. For microwave reheating, use short intervals to avoid a soggy crust. Always allow frozen pies to partially thaw in the fridge for best results before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Absolutely! Assemble the pie a few hours in advance and refrigerate. Bake just before serving for the best texture.

What other meats can I use?

Feel free to experiment—chopped cooked bacon, rotisserie chicken, or even diced ham all work beautifully in this pie.

Can I freeze the whole pie?

Yes! Assemble, cover, and freeze before baking. Bake from frozen, adding about 20 minutes extra time.

How do I know when the pie is done?

The crust should be a rich golden brown, and you’ll see some bubbling through the slits or edge. A thermometer inserted in the center should hit at least 74°C (165°F).

Can I make this gluten-free?

Certainly! Use a gluten-free pie crust and check that your pepperoni and sausage are also gluten-free.
