Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 crusts Refrigerated pie crusts Feel free to substitute with homemade dough for an extra touch.
For the Filling
  • 1 pound Ground beef Consider ground turkey or chicken for a lighter alternative.
  • 1 pound Italian sausage You could also mix and match sausages.
  • 4 ounces Sliced pepperoni Swap for sautéed mushrooms or vegetables for a meatless option.
  • 1 medium Onion Shallots can be used for a milder flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is crucial for optimum taste.
  • 15 ounces Tomato sauce Any marinara or pizza sauce will do.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano Fresh oregano works better if available.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried basil Fresh basil is ideal for a pop of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to your liking.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Adjust to your liking.
  • 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese Low moisture mozzarella prevents a soggy pie.
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese Pecorino Romano can be used as a substitute.

Equipment

  • 9-inch deep-dish pie plate
  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and press one refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage for 7–10 minutes.
  3. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until soft; add minced garlic for an additional minute.
  4. Stir in tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper; simmer for 5–10 minutes.
  5. Spoon half of the meat mixture into the pie crust; layer half of the pepperoni and half of the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  6. Cover the filling with the second pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting vents for steam to escape.
  7. Bake the pie for 45–55 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  8. Let the pie rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
