Oh, a Pizza Burger Pie sounds like a delicious mash-up! It’s probably a fun combination of pizza flavors in a burger pie form. I bet it’s a tasty twist on traditional pizza and burgers. Have you ever tried making one or seen it on a menu somewhere? It sounds like a creative and yummy idea!
Here’s a recipe for Pizza Burger Pie that combines the best of both worlds:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (optional)
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or you can make your own)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Additional toppings (like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms) if desired
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Meat:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add Pizza Sauce:
- Stir in the pizza sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Pie Crust:
- Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie dish, leaving some overhang.
- Layer Ingredients:
- Spread half of the mozzarella cheese on the bottom of the crust. Add the beef mixture on top, then layer with pepperoni and any additional toppings you like. Finally, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover with Crust:
- Fold the overhanging pie crust over the filling. You can also use a second pie crust to cover the top if you prefer a fully enclosed pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Egg Wash:
- Beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a golden finish.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your Pizza Burger Pie!
