Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup diced pickles
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 premade refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your crust will bake to perfection!
  • Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s fully cooked. This step is important to ensure the beef is juicy and flavorful. Remember to drain any excess grease!
  • Season It Right: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to the beef. Stir it in well, then mix in the pizza sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Let this savory mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the Crunch: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the diced pickles and onions. This adds a delightful crunch and tang to the pie. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Crust: Roll out the premade pie crust into a greased 9-inch pie dish. Make sure to gently press it into the edges to prevent any leaks!
  • Layer It Up: Start by layering half of the beef mixture into the crust. Follow it up by an even sprinkle of half the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Finish Strong: Pour in the remaining beef mixture, and top it off with the rest of the cheese. Brush the crust edges with olive oil and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for an added crunch.
  • Bake to Perfection: Pop your pie into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Your kitchen will smell incredible at this point!
  • Let It Cool: Once out of the oven, allow the Pizza Burger Pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Patience, my friend; the deliciousness will be worth it!
