Cheesy Pizza Burger Pie
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 oz) can pizza sauce
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup sliced pepperoni or cooked sausage (optional, for topping)
1/4 cup fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Preparation:
Cook the Ground Beef:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
Prepare the Pie Crust:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish, pinching the seams together to form a crust. Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes until it is lightly golden.
Assemble the Pizza Burger Pie:
Once the crust is pre-baked, layer the cooked beef mixture on top of the dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Bake the Pie:
Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Add Toppings:
If desired, top the pie with slices of pepperoni or cooked sausage during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve:
Slice and serve the cheesy pizza burger pie while it's hot and gooey!
