And let’s be honest—who could resist a slice of something this satisfying?

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

This pie is not just a meal; it’s a moment of indulgence. The deep-dish style layers bring contrast in every bite—juicy meats, zesty sauce, stretchy cheese, and buttery crust. It’s perfect for feeding a family or entertaining guests because it can be made ahead and reheats beautifully.

It also transforms simple pantry ingredients into something rich and flavorful. Plus, it has that nostalgic comfort factor that makes you feel like you’re eating Sunday dinner at grandma’s table.

Can I Use Store-Bought Pie Crust or Should I Make My Own?

Absolutely, you can go the store-bought route. A good refrigerated pie crust or even frozen deep-dish crust will save time without sacrificing flavor. However, if you’re up for it, making a homemade buttery pie crust adds a rustic touch and even more flakiness. Just make sure it’s sturdy enough to hold all those layers of meat and cheese without falling apart.

Ingredients for the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

The magic of this pie is in its layers, and each ingredient plays a starring role. From the juicy meats to the tangy sauce and that golden crust, nothing here is an afterthought.

• Ground beef: Brings the juicy, savory foundation that makes the filling hearty and satisfying.
• Italian sausage: Adds depth with its bold spices and a slightly chewy texture that balances the ground beef.
• Pepperoni slices: Offer bursts of zesty flavor and a familiar pizza-inspired touch.
• Onion: Caramelizes into the mix to provide sweetness and aromatic depth.
• Garlic: Enhances everything with a punch of pungent richness.
• Crushed tomatoes: Form the base of the rich, thick sauce that holds the meats together.
• Italian seasoning: Lends that classic herby taste that screams comfort food.
• Mozzarella cheese: Melts beautifully for gooey, stretchy layers.
• Parmesan cheese: Adds a sharp, salty finish that cuts through the richness.
• Pie crust: The vessel that brings it all together—buttery, flaky, and golden.

How To Make the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Step 1: Prep the Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Press the pie crust into a deep-dish pie pan. Chill it in the fridge while you prepare the filling to keep it firm.

Step 2: Brown the Meats

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3: Add Aromatics and Sauce

Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant and soft. Stir in crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavor.

Step 4: Layer the Filling

Remove the crust from the fridge. Spoon in half the meat mixture, then a layer of pepperoni and mozzarella. Repeat with the remaining meat, more pepperoni, and mozzarella. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan.

Step 5: Bake It Up

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 6: Cool and Slice

Let the pie rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve.

How to Serve and Store This Pie

This Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie is a full-on meal by itself, perfect for feeding four to six hungry eaters. The slices hold up well thanks to the sturdy crust and gooey layers, so each plate feels like a mini feast. For serving, slice it with a sharp knife and use a pie server or spatula to lift those hearty wedges onto plates.

If you have leftovers, simply cover the pie pan with foil or transfer slices to an airtight container. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to a month. To reheat, pop it in a 350°F oven until warmed through—about 15 to 20 minutes.

What to Serve With Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie?

Garlic Bread or Cheesy Breadsticks

The crust is already buttery and golden, but adding a slice of garlic bread on the side is a great way to mop up any saucy bits left on the plate.

Caesar Salad

A crisp Caesar salad with crunchy croutons and creamy dressing adds contrast to the warm, rich pie.

Roasted Broccoli

Something green and simple like roasted broccoli brings balance to the hearty main.

Italian Pasta Salad

Cool and zesty, a cold pasta salad with olives, tomatoes, and vinaigrette cuts through the richness nicely.

Pickled Vegetables

The acidity from pickled onions or giardiniera adds a bright, tangy touch to each bite.

Tomato Basil Soup

On a chilly day, pairing this pie with a bowl of warm tomato soup takes comfort to the next level.

Apple Slaw

A refreshing apple slaw with a light dressing can bring a sweet crunch that balances the savory flavors.
