Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This sets the stage for your tremendous pie to bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown crust.
-
In a skillet, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat. Cook until browned, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the excess fat to ensure your filling isn’t greasy.
-
In a large bowl, combine the cooked meats with the shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Mix well to ensure a tremendous blend of flavors. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
-
Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface. This dough will form the base and the top of your pie, so make sure it’s nice and even. Place the crust into a pie dish, gently pressing it into the corners.
-
Pour the meat and cheese mixture into the pie crust. Spread it evenly to ensure every slice is filled with that delicious filling.
-
Cover with another layer of pie crust. Seal the edges by crimping them with your fingers or a fork. Make sure to cut slits on top of the crust. This allows steam to escape, helping your pie bake evenly.
-
Brush the top with a beaten egg. This will give your pie a beautiful golden crust when baked.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the crust to be golden brown and inviting.
-
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This waiting period allows the flavors to settle and the filling to firm up just a bit.
