Cheesy Pizza Burger Pie
Ingredients:
1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
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)
Optional substitutions: Use ground turkey or plant-based beef for a lighter option, or swap mozzarella with vegan cheese for a dairy-free version.
Directions:
Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough package instructions. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, adding garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently and cook until fully browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Press it into a greased pie dish, allowing the edges to hang over the sides. Spread an even layer of pizza sauce across the dough base. Add the cooked ground beef on top, followed by mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, mushrooms, bell peppers, and pickles.
Fold the dough edges over the filling, pinching them together to create a sealed crust. Brush the top with olive oil for a golden, crispy finish.
Bake according to the pizza dough’s instructions, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
