Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount	Notes

Onion (chopped)	1 small	Adds sweetness and flavor
Garlic (minced)	2 cloves	Optional but recommended
Pizza sauce	1 cup	Or use marinara sauce
Italian seasoning	1 teaspoon	Or oregano and basil mix
Salt and pepper	To taste
Shredded mozzarella	1 ½ cups	Divided
Cheddar cheese	½ cup	Optional, for a sharper flavor
Refrigerated biscuit dough or pie crust	1 package	You can also make homemade dough

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or oil.
Cook the Beef Mixture
In a skillet, cook ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and onions are tender. Drain excess fat.
Add Flavor
Stir in garlic, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Base
If using biscuit dough, press the biscuits into the bottom and sides of the pie dish, overlapping slightly to form a crust.
If using pie crust, fit it into the dish and trim any excess.
Layer the Filling
Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the crust. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella and cheddar over the top. Add pepperoni slices if desired.
Bake the Pie
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Add Final Touches
Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella, brush the crust edges lightly with olive oil, and bake for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese beautifully.
Cool Slightly and Serve
Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a side salad or garlic bread.
