  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Margarine can be used if preferred.
  • 6-8 tablespoons Cold Water Just enough to avoid a wet dough.
For the Filling
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Lean cuts (85–90%) help reduce grease.
  • 1 pound Italian Sausage Choose mild or spicy based on your taste preference.
  • 1 medium Onion Sauté before combining with meat for best results.

  • 1 teaspoon Sugar Balances the acidity of the tomatoes.
For the Cheesy Layers
  • 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese Delivers gooey, melty goodness.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Consider mixing with ricotta for creaminess.
  • 1 cup Pepperoni Layered inside and on top.
For the Toppings

Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Large skillet
  • 9-inch Pie Dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a deep 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water to form a dough, then chill for 20 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat, then add chopped onions and minced garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Italian seasoning, crushed tomatoes, and a pinch of sugar to the meat mixture. Stir and let simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish, layer the meat mixture, mozzarella, cheddar, and pepperoni slices.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Let the pie rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve warm, enjoying each layered bite of meat, cheese, and crispy crust.
