Ingredients for the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Pie Crust (store-bought or homemade): Serves as the flaky base that holds all the fillings.
Ground Beef: Adds a rich, hearty texture and classic burger flavor.
Italian Sausage: Infuses spice and boldness to complement the beef.
Pepperoni Slices: For that familiar pizza punch and visual appeal.
Marinara Sauce: Brings tang and ties all the savory ingredients together.

How To Make the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Step 1: Brown the Meats

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and sausage until fully browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

Line a deep pie dish with the bottom crust. Let it hang slightly over the edge. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 3: Layer the Fillings

Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Add a generous scoop of the meat mixture, then top with mozzarella. Add a few slices of pepperoni. Repeat layers until you reach the top, finishing with cheese and pepperoni.

Step 4: Seal and Finish

Place the top crust over the pie and crimp edges to seal. Cut a few slits on top for venting. Brush with egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

How to Serve and Store This Meaty Pie

This pie is best served warm, straight from the oven after resting to set the layers. Slice with a sharp knife and serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables for balance. For storing, cover leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat individual slices in the oven or air fryer for the best texture. It also freezes well—just wrap tightly and thaw before reheating.
