How to Make Pizza Burger Pie
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Crust
- Unroll the crescent roll dough. Press it into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Spoon the beef mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
- Layer with shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, black olives, and bell peppers.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
- Allow the pie to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Even Crust: Press the crescent dough evenly to prevent gaps.
- Prevent Sogginess: Let the beef mixture cool slightly before adding it to the crust.
- Cheesy Perfection: Mix in a bit of cheddar for extra gooeyness.
Storage
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
