Why You’ll Love This Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

This pie is a hearty hug on a plate. If you love layered flavors, you’ll adore how the browned beef mingles with the Italian sausage’s herbal kick, then gets a zesty pop from the pepperoni. And with the gooey cheese and crispy crust, it hits all the right notes: crunchy, juicy, savory, and satisfying. Plus, it’s easy to make ahead and reheat, making it a great meal prep option.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use?

You can go two routes here: store-bought pie crust for ease or homemade if you have the time. A classic buttery pie crust works best, but feel free to use a refrigerated deep-dish crust or puff pastry if you’re feeling adventurous. The key is to choose something sturdy enough to hold all those hearty layers without falling apart.

Ingredients for the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

This pie is packed with bold, rich flavors, and the ingredients are what give it that mouthwatering satisfaction. Each component has a purpose—from the meats that build the foundation to the cheese that binds everything in melty perfection.

• Ground beef
• Italian sausage
• Pepperoni slices
• Onion
• Garlic
• Italian seasoning
• Tomato paste
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• Egg
• Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper

How To Make the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Step 1: Prepare the Meat Filling

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat a splash of olive oil. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the ground beef and Italian sausage, cooking until fully browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat and stir in tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until everything is well combined.

Step 2: Assemble the Pie Base

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a deep-dish pie plate with your pie crust, pressing it firmly into the bottom and sides. Lightly beat the egg and brush it over the crust to prevent sogginess.

Step 3: Layer the Fillings

Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the crust. Top with a generous handful of shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Layer pepperoni slices over the top. If using a double crust, lay the second crust on top and seal the edges. Cut a few slits for ventilation.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Allow the pie to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. This helps everything set and makes serving much easier.

Serving and Storing Your Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

This pie is a crowd-pleaser and serves up to 6 hungry diners, making it ideal for family dinners or casual get-togethers. When serving, let it sit for a few minutes after baking to make slicing easier and to lock in all those rich flavors. Pair it with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables to balance its hearty nature.

If you have leftovers, wrap individual slices tightly or place them in an airtight container. They keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze slices and reheat them in the oven to maintain that delicious crust texture. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the crust crisp.
