3. Assemble the Pie

  1. Spread half of the meat mixture evenly over the pie crust in the pan.
  2. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the meat layer.
  3. Add the remaining meat mixture on top, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Arrange sliced pepperoni on top for an extra layer of flavor, if desired.

4. Bake Until Golden

  1. Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  2. Optional: Brush the exposed crust edges with melted butter during the last 5 minutes of baking for extra crispiness.

5. Cool and Serve

  1. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
  2. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.
  3. Slice into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy every bite of this cheesy, meaty masterpiece!

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a side of garlic bread or toasted baguette slices for extra indulgence.
  • Serve alongside a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • Offer dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or spicy aioli for added fun.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Use Quality Ingredients: Freshly shredded mozzarella melts better than pre-shredded cheese, which often contains anti-caking agents.
  • Mix and Match Meats: Feel free to swap the sausage for ground turkey, chicken, or even bacon for variety.
  • Add Veggies: Sauté mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini and layer them in for extra nutrition.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the pie up to a day in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
