Cheesy Pizza Burger Pie – The Ultimate Comfort Fusion

Cheesy Pizza Burger Pie – The Ultimate Comfort Fusion

Description

Hey, food lovers! Welcome to a delicious fusion of flavors in today’s recipe: Cheesy Pizza Burger Pie. If you’ve ever found yourself torn between a classic burger and a slice of cheesy pizza, this dish is for you! Packed with everything we love in both meals, it’s the ultimate comfort food that brings together the best of both worlds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup sliced pickles
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)

Optional substitutions: Use ground turkey or plant-based beef for a lighter option, or swap mozzarella with vegan cheese for a dairy-free version.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough and Beef

Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough package instructions. Start by browning the ground beef over medium heat in a skillet, adding garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently to break up any large chunks, and cook until fully browned. If necessary, drain excess fat.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Place it in a greased pie dish, letting the edges hang over. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly across the dough. Next, layer the cooked ground beef, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, mushrooms, bell peppers, and pickles.

Step 3: Seal the Pie

Fold the dough edges over the filling, pinching as needed to ensure they stay secure. Brush the dough with olive oil for a crispy, golden finish.

Step 4: Bake and Serve

Bake according to the pizza dough’s instructions, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the most flavorful results.
  • Avoid overfilling the pie, as it may become too soft.
  • Add a dash of red pepper flakes for an extra kick if you love spicy flavors!
