The Ultimate Comfort Food Combination
The Pizza Burger Pie brings the best of both worlds—pizza and burgers—into one mouth-watering creation. Think of it as a pizza crust filled with seasoned ground beef, all the flavors of a burger (lettuce, tomato, and cheese), and pizza toppings like pepperoni and mushrooms. Then, it’s baked to golden perfection in a pie pan, resulting in a gooey, cheesy, savory masterpiece that’s as satisfying as it sounds.
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough (or make your own dough if you’re feeling extra ambitious)
For the Burger Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite burger cheese)
For the Pizza Toppings:
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni (or any other pizza topping you love)
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced green peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
For the Pie Assembly:
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and hot so the pizza burger pie bakes evenly and the crust turns golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the Ground Beef Filling
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and basil to the beef mixture. Stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and the seasonings have blended together.
Once the beef mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the beef mixture. This adds that signature cheeseburger flavor to the pie.
3. Roll Out the Pizza Dough
Next, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. You want it to be large enough to fit into a standard 9-inch pie dish, with enough dough to cover the sides and form a crust. If you’re using store-bought dough, this step is quick and easy.
4. Assemble the Pizza Burger Pie
Now it’s time to layer the ingredients! Carefully press the pizza dough into the bottom of the pie dish, making sure it covers the bottom and sides.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, then spoon the burger mixture on top, spreading it evenly. Add your favorite pizza toppings—like pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and black olives. Be creative! You can add any toppings that you enjoy on your pizza or burger.
