What Kind of Crust Works Best for This Pie?

You want a crust that can hold its own against a heavy, meaty filling. A homemade or store-bought pie crust will do the trick, but for best results, use a deep-dish or thick pie crust with buttery flakiness. Puff pastry could also work for a lighter twist, but classic pie crust gives the best structure and bite.

Ingredients for the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Ground Beef – The foundation of your filling, providing a rich, meaty flavor that pairs beautifully with the sausage.

Italian Sausage – Adds spice, texture, and a burst of savory complexity.

Pepperoni Slices – Bring in that classic pizzeria flavor and a bit of crispy edge on top.

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – Melts beautifully and binds the meat layers together.

Pizza Sauce or Marinara – A zesty layer of tomato goodness that moistens and enhances the filling.

Parmesan Cheese – For a salty, nutty finish and golden top.

Pie Crust – A deep-dish crust that holds all the layers of meat and cheese without falling apart.

Egg (optional) – For brushing the crust edges to get a glossy, golden finish.

Italian Seasoning & Garlic Powder – For seasoning the meat with bold, familiar flavors.

Salt & Black Pepper – To taste, always essential for balance.

How To Make the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a deep-dish pie pan and set aside.

Step 2: Brown the Meats

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage together until browned. Drain excess grease, then season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Layer the Pie

Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce over the bottom of the crust. Add a layer of the cooked meat, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a final topping of mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and a generous dusting of Parmesan.

Step 4: Bake

Brush the exposed crust with a beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.

Step 5: Cool and Slice

Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing to help everything set. Serve hot and enjoy!

Serving and Storing the Pie

This meaty masterpiece is best served fresh out of the oven when the cheese is gooey and the crust is flaky. To store leftovers, place slices in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F until warmed through for best texture.

You can also freeze individual slices wrapped in foil for up to 2 months. Great for quick lunches or unexpected guests!

What to Serve With Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie?

Caesar Salad

The crisp freshness of romaine and tangy Caesar dressing balances the richness of the pie.

Garlic Knots

Fluffy, buttery, and great for soaking up extra sauce.

Roasted Vegetables

Caramelized veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms make a great companion.

Coleslaw

A chilled, creamy slaw adds a cool crunch and contrast.

Pasta Salad

Italian-style pasta salad with olives, cherry tomatoes, and vinaigrette keeps things light.

Pickle Spears

Add some sharp, briny bites on the side to cut through the savory richness.

Mozzarella Sticks

Why not double down on cheesy goodness?

Sweet Potato Fries

Their subtle sweetness pairs surprisingly well with the savory pie.
