Why You’ll Love This Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

This isn’t your average pie recipe. The mix of meats gives it a rich, multi-layered taste. It feeds a hungry group with ease, slices cleanly for beautiful presentation, and is highly customizable depending on what you have on hand. Plus, it bakes up in one dish, making cleanup easier than you’d expect for such a hearty meal. It’s indulgent, cheesy, and full of comforting, familiar ingredients that always hit the spot.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use?

For this recipe, you’ll want something that can hold up to the filling. A deep-dish pie crust or even a pizza dough-style crust works beautifully here. If you’re short on time, pre-made refrigerated pie crusts do the trick, but for an extra boost in flavor and texture, a homemade buttery crust is hard to beat. Just be sure it’s thick enough to support all that cheesy, meaty goodness without turning soggy.

Ingredients for the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

This pie is built for indulgence and comfort, and that starts with the right ingredients. We’re layering flavor upon flavor, so it’s important to choose fresh, quality meats and cheeses. The richness of the beef and sausage combined with the spice of pepperoni creates a perfect trifecta, while the cheese pulls everything together into a melty masterpiece.

• Ground beef: This is the heart of the filling. Use 80/20 for flavor without too much grease.
• Italian sausage: Adds richness and a subtle spice that enhances every bite.
• Pepperoni slices: For that classic pizzeria flavor and crisped edges when baked.
• Onion: Brings a savory sweetness that balances the meat.
• Garlic: A must for building deep flavor throughout the pie.
• Mozzarella cheese: Melts perfectly and holds the layers together.
• Parmesan cheese: Adds a sharp, salty finish on top.
• Pizza or marinara sauce: Gives the pie that saucy, tomato-rich base.
• Egg: Helps bind the filling and gives the pie structure.
• Salt and pepper: To season everything just right.
• Pie crust or pizza dough: Thick and sturdy enough to hold all the fillings.

How To Make the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Step 1: Brown the Meats

Start by browning the ground beef and Italian sausage together in a large skillet over medium heat. Break them up with a spoon and cook until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Stir in the Sauce

Pour in your favorite pizza or marinara sauce, stirring it into the meat mixture. Let it simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors meld together.

Step 4: Prepare the Crust

Press your pie crust or pizza dough into a deep 9-inch pie dish. Let it go up the sides and slightly over the edge.

Step 5: Layer the Filling

Spoon half of the meat sauce into the crust, sprinkle a generous handful of mozzarella cheese, then add a layer of pepperoni. Repeat with the remaining meat, cheese, and pepperoni.

Step 6: Finish with Cheese & Egg Wash

Top everything with Parmesan cheese and brush the crust edge with a beaten egg to give it that golden finish.

Step 7: Bake It

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Let it rest 10 minutes before slicing to help it set.

How to Serve and Store the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

This deep dish beauty is meant to be shared. It serves up to 6 hearty portions, making it great for family dinners, casual get-togethers, or game night spreads. When serving, let the pie rest after baking so it slices cleanly and stays layered without falling apart. A large sharp knife and a pie server will do the trick.

Storing leftovers is just as easy. Wrap slices in foil or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back that crusty texture. You can also freeze the whole pie (after baking) by wrapping it tightly in plastic and foil for up to 2 months. Just thaw and warm through before serving again.

What to Serve With Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie?

Garlic Bread

Warm, buttery garlic bread pairs perfectly with this pie and helps scoop up any extra sauce left on your plate.

Caesar Salad

A crisp Caesar salad offers a fresh, tangy contrast to the pie’s richness. The crunch of romaine and zesty dressing balance things beautifully.

Roasted Veggies

Roasted broccoli, bell peppers, or zucchini make for colorful, slightly sweet side dishes that complement the savory flavors.

Marinara Dipping Sauce

Serve a small bowl of marinara on the side for extra dipping action—especially good with that golden crust.

Creamy Coleslaw

A chilled, creamy slaw offers a cool texture contrast and brings a refreshing bite alongside the hot, cheesy pie.

Stuffed Mushrooms

If you’re planning a party-style dinner, stuffed mushrooms add an easy, flavorful appetizer that matches the meaty theme.

Iced Tea or Lemonade

For drinks, go classic and refreshing. Sweet iced tea or zesty lemonade cut through the richness without overpowering it.

Pickles or Pickled Veggies

The acidity and crunch of pickles help reset your palate and brighten up the meal. Try pickled jalapeños for an extra kick.
