Ingredient List

A match made in heaven: pizza and hamburgers combine to form this delicious creation.

Here’s a rundown of all the ingredients you’ll need to make this hearty and flavorful pizza hamburger pie.

Meats

1 lb lean ground beef: I highly recommend using at least 80% lean ground beef for this recipe. It adds just the right amount of fat and flavor to the dish, without making it too greasy or overwhelming.

Vegetables

1/2 cup chopped onions: These add some nice sweetness and crunch to the overall dish.
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper: Adds some nice freshness and color to the dish.

Dairy

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese: To me, a good pie recipe cannot be considered pie without gooey, melted cheese on top.
1/2 cup parsley, chopped: Fresh parsley adds a bright and herbaceous note that really pulls everything together.

Canned Goods

1 can (14 oz) canned tomatoes, I use crushed but diced works too: Tomatoes give this pizza burger pie recipe the perfect amount of acidity and sweetness.
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste: Thickens the sauce and gives it that classic pizza flavor.

Spices and Seasonings

2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
Garlic (optional)

If you want to mix things up a bit, feel free to add in other veggies like mushrooms, olives or even jalapenos for some spice. Keep in mind this recipe isn’t complete without pizza dough or pie crust to hold all the deliciousness together!

Now, let’s dive into the meat of this recipe: how to make your own Pizza Hamburger Pie!

Ingredients Needed:

1 lb of lean ground beef
1 cup of chopped onions
1 cup of chopped green bell pepper
1 can of canned tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon of dried basil
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons of tomato paste
3/4 cup of pizza sauce

Directions:
Step One: Prepare the Crust

First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, you’ll want to prepare the crust for your Pizza Hamburger Pie.

Take a deep dish pie pan and lightly grease it with cooking spray. Add a layer of pizza bread crust to the bottom and sides of the pan. Make sure the crust holds the ground beef well later on.

Step Two: Brown the Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook your lean ground beef and onions until tender and browned. Drain away any excess fat once the beef is cooked.

Next, add in your canned tomatoes, green bell pepper, tomato paste, pizza sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the ground beef mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly and let it cook for a few minutes until everything is heated through.

Step Three: Assemble and Bake

Once the mixture is heated through, pour it into your prepared pie pan on top of your pizza bread crust. Add half your shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture.

Then, cover with another layer of pizza bread crust and sprinkle more cheddar cheese over it along with some fresh chopped parsley on top.

Bake your pizza hamburger pie in your preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on top.

Step Four: Serve and Enjoy!

Once out of the oven, let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges or slices. Every bite is a satisfying mix of pizza burger goodness that will make this recipe ever inspired!

Substitutions and Variations

Get ready to impress your taste buds with this ultimate comfort food!

Listen closely, kiddies. Now remember, recipes are not prison cells. Let your imagination run wild, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Here are some substitutions and variations that I’ve come up with for you daredevils out there.

Firstly, if you’re feeling spicy, replace the canned tomatoes with a can of fire-roasted tomatoes or add some crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the beef to give it a kick. You could also try using a combination of different types of cheese like mozzarella, parmesan, or pepper jack for a more complex flavor.

Are you a lover of veggies? No problem, in this recipe, you could swap out the lean ground beef for some lentils or cooked quinoa to provide extra nutrients and make it vegetarian-friendly. And if you want some more texture in every bite then go ahead add some mushrooms or even coarsely chopped broccoli as toppings.

But hang on to your hats people here is my absolute favorite twist – try baking this recipe in a pie crust! Instead of spreading pizza dough on top of the meat mixture before adding cheese, substitute with your favorite pre-made pie crust that’s made from crushed crackers or biscuits. It may sound sinful but trust me; it’s delish!

If you want something with even fewer carbs — You keto folks might enjoy this — use a layer of scrambled eggs instead of crust on the bottom.

The possibilities with this recipe are endless – use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary as alternative seasonings, use chicken or turkey instead of ground beef, get creative and add anything from olives to pineapple!

This pizza burger pie is one dish where you can let your inner culinary ninja shine through. So go ahead and personalize this recipe to make it uniquely yours because life is too short for boring food!

When it comes to making the perfect Pizza Hamburger Pie, following the recipe is important. However, there are some additional tips that can make all the difference between an average burger pie and a mouth-watering cheesy delight. Here are my top tips for achieving the ultimate pizza burger pie:

Firstly, make sure to use lean ground beef with at least 80% fat content. This will prevent your pie from becoming greasy and overly heavy.

Secondly, if you’re using canned tomatoes for your pizza sauce, try to buy them whole and crush them yourself. This will give your pizza sauce a fresher and more authentic taste.

Thirdly, feel free to get creative with your toppings. While pepperoni and olives are classics, chopped green bell peppers or even bacon pieces can add extra flavor and texture to your pizza hamburger pie.

Fourthly, when it comes to seasoning, don’t hold back on the herbs! Sprinkling in a little extra dried oregano, parsley or garlic can elevate your pie to new heights of deliciousness.

Fifthly, if you’re using a deep dish pie crust, place a little bit of bread underneath the first layer. This will help to absorb any excess moisture and keep your crust crisp and delicious.

Sixthly, make sure not to overfill your pie crust as this can cause uneven cooking or even breakage depending on the crust. Aim for no more than 1 1/2 inch thickness of filling in a 9 inch pie pan.

Seventhly, allow your pizza hamburger pie to cool for at least ten minutes after removing it from the oven. This will prevent it from collapsing and help it hold its shape when you cut into it.

Lastly, don’t forget that this recipe is all about comfort food! Don’t be afraid to dig in and enjoy every bite of this cheesy goodness. With these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to making the best-ever pizza hamburger pie.
