1. Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as needed.
Brush the crust with olive oil and set aside.
2. Make the Filling
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in pizza sauce, pepperoni (if using), oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Assemble the Pie
Pour the beef mixture into the prepared crust.
Spread evenly and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Add optional toppings like olives, green peppers, or mushrooms.
4. Bake the Pie
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
5. Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Tips:
For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits or sausage to the filling.
Try a stuffed crust by layering shredded cheese along the edge before folding over the crust.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating in the oven for best results.
