Description
A hearty and delicious Deep-Dish Pizza Burger Pie that combines the flavors of pizza and burgers in a unique way.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade, enough for top + bottom crust)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for greasing and brushing)
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 20–25 pepperoni slices
- ½ cup pickled jalapeños (sliced)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a deep 9-inch springform pan or cake pan.
- Cook the beef: In a skillet, brown ground beef with onion and garlic until cooked through. Drain excess fat. Season with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir in ½ cup pizza sauce. Remove from heat.
- Assemble crust: Roll out one portion of dough and press into the bottom and sides of the pan. Leave some overhang for sealing.
- Layer filling: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the bottom crust. Add half the ground beef mixture. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and cheddar. Add another layer of beef and cheese. Top with pepperoni slices and jalapeños.
- Top crust: Roll out the second dough portion, place over the filling, and pinch edges with the bottom crust to seal. Cut a few small slits on top for steam release. Brush with olive oil.
- Bake: Place pan on a baking sheet (to catch drips) and bake 35–45 minutes, until golden brown. If browning too quickly, tent with foil.
- Cool & serve: Let sit 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add more crushed red pepper flakes.
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite pizza toppings.
- Make sure to let the pie cool before slicing for cleaner pieces.
