Deep Hamburger Sausage Pepperoni Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 box ready-made pie crust (2 crusts)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (for brushing crust)
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 cup pepperoni slices, divided
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
- 1 cup cheddar or provolone cheese, shredded
- 1½ cups pizza sauce or marinara
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage together, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Continue cooking until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat and set the meat mixture aside to cool slightly.
2. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Allow adequate time for the oven to reach temperature while you assemble the pie.
3. Prepare the pie crust: Unroll one of the pie crusts and carefully press it into a deep-dish pie pan (at least 2 inches deep), allowing the excess to hang over the edges. If using a standard pie dish, make sure the crust goes all the way up the sides and slightly over the edge.
4. Begin layering the filling: Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom crust. This first layer of cheese helps create a barrier between the crust and the wet ingredients, which helps prevent a soggy bottom.
5. Add the meat and first layer of pepperoni: Spread the browned meat mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Arrange about ¾ cup of the pepperoni slices over the meat layer, reserving some for the top layer.
6. Add sauce and seasonings: Pour the pizza sauce or marinara evenly over the meat and pepperoni. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) to evenly distribute the spices.
7. Add final cheese and pepperoni layer: Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and all of the cheddar or provolone cheese. Arrange the remaining pepperoni slices on top of the cheese for an extra flavor boost.
8. Add the top crust: Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough, leaving about ½ inch overhang. Fold the overhang under the bottom crust edge and press together to seal. Crimp or flute the edge decoratively. Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
9. Prepare the garlic butter topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the remaining ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Using a pastry brush, generously brush this mixture over the entire top crust and edges.
10. Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any potential drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.
11. Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows the filling to set slightly, making it easier to serve neat slices. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
They are not UNDOCUMENTED!!

They BROKE THE LAW to get here
I don't GIVE AF who it offends when I say it
THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!!
They say White privilege is everywhere.
Cool.
Then where are the White scholarships, White history month, White entertainment networks, and White affinity groups?
CNN and MSNBC reporters burst into tears outside the White House gate after being banned.
Here’s 3 reason why their tears mean nothing…
1. Biden already banned hundreds of reporters — mostly center-right — and barely took questions. CNN and MSNBC said nothing.
2. Theses same reporters cheered and danced like goblins when Trump was banned from YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok and then debanked. Free speech only matters when THEY are under attack.
3. These news channels never aired Trump’s rallies live. They clipped him, talked over him, and sneered while depriving their viewers of the Presidents voice. Hard to argue now they need access to Trump.
BONUS: Freedom of speech is not freedom of access. The First Amendment argument collapses when you understand the limiting principles of these people.
They can keep lying from the sidewalk.
This Could Be The Best Trade Deal in History
Everyone who loves America gets to stay here and every who hates this country should be forced to leave.
Have fun in a Communist Cuba or China or better yet an Islamic country.
Let’s see how long you last there 🤣

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after an elderly man who stopped at Walmart after church, told a Black female employee she'd nearly hit his wife with a cart and never apologized...
...the teen called her PARENTS who then BEAT THE ELDERLY MAN TO DE*TH in front of his wife of 42 YEARS!!!!
Yes, you read that right.
He asked a teenager to say "excuse me" and the teens parents k*lled him for it.
His name was Bert Atienza. He was 77 years old.
He and his wife Josephine had been married for FORTY-TWO YEARS and on Sunday, June 7th, they went to church.
Then they stopped at the Walmart to do their grocery shopping.
Josephine says a 17-year-old Black female employee came through with a heavy cart and nearly slammed into her.
No "excuse me." No apology. Nothing.
So Bert did what husbands do, he spoke up for his wife.
In his wife's words, he told that girl: "You almost hit my wife with your heavy cart, and you did not even say excuse me or apologize to her."
Josephine says the teenager then THREW A CAN at them as they walked away. It missed.
The elderly couple, not wanting any trouble, just kept shopping.
Minutes later, that girl's PARENTS showed up at the store, found the 77-year-old man and beat him to de*th.
In his wife's words:
"They crowded my husband, one of the adults hit him in the face. He fell down on the floor. I was terrified. I don't know what's going on."
The Medical Examiner's ruling: blunt head trauma.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
A nation that does not preserve families for children and lets the narcissistic mother divorce to chase a fever dream is evil. The child’s happiness should be prioritized over the mother’s ego, and divorce should be restricted to only for extreme cases, such as actual* physical abuse or sexual immorality.
