Ingredients

Scale

Meats & Cheese

  • 1 lb ground hamburger
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Dough & Sauce

  • 1 batch pizza dough (deep-dish style)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce

Aromatics & Herbs

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil

Others

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: Brown the ground hamburger and Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking up the meat until fully cooked and browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in finely chopped onions, minced garlic, oregano, and basil, cooking for 2-3 minutes to infuse flavors.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a thick circle large enough to fit your deep-dish pan, leaving some dough to hang over the edges. Firmly press the dough into the pan to form a deep crust base.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Spread tomato sauce generously over the dough base. Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Add the sautéed meat mixture, scatter pepperoni slices over it, then finish by topping with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  4. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set and make serving easier and tidier.

Notes

  • Use a heavy pan like cast iron or deep-dish pizza pan to improve crust texture and even cooking.
  • Layer ingredients thoughtfully to avoid sogginess or uneven cooking.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality hamburger and Italian sausage for best flavor.
  • Allow the pie to rest after baking for clean, neat slices.
  • If adding vegetables, pre-cook them to remove excess moisture.
