Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial, as it ensures your pizza burger pie will cook evenly and develop that perfect golden crust.
-
In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart, allowing it to cook evenly. Once browned, be sure to drain the excess fat for a cleaner taste.
-
Add the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté these ingredients until they are softened, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the tremendous flavors of the vegetables.
-
Lay the pre-made pie crust in a deep-dish pie pan. Gently press it against the sides and bottom of the pan, ensuring it fits snugly.
-
Layer the ground beef mixture on the crust, spreading it out evenly. Then, pour the pizza sauce over the beef, followed by a generous topping of shredded mozzarella cheese.
-
If you have another pie crust, cover the filling with it; if not, simply fold over the edges of the bottom crust to seal in the deliciousness. Ensure you press down gently to keep everything secure.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. The aroma wafting through your home will be absolutely tremendous, drawing everyone into the kitchen.
-
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing it into 8 hearty pieces. Serve warm and watch as your family and friends dive into this comforting dish, savoring every bite.
