Cheesy Pizza Burger Pie
– 1 cup pizza sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
– 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
– 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
– 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
– 1/4 cup sliced pickles
– 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a pie dish by rolling out the pizza dough to fit the bottom and sides.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
3. Assemble the Pizza Burger Pie:
– Press the pizza dough into the pie dish, covering the bottom and sides.
– Spread the cooked beef over the dough as the base layer.
– Top the beef with a layer of pizza sauce, spreading it evenly.
– Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
– Add layers of pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, pickles, and crumbled bacon (if desired).
– Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake:
Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil for a golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
