How to Make

1. Make the Dough

Start by mixing your flour, yeast, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually add water and oil, then knead until smooth.

2. Let Dough Rise

Cover the dough with a towel and set it aside in a warm spot. Let it rise until it doubles in size. This usually takes about an hour.

3. Cook the Beef

In a skillet, brown your ground beef over medium heat. Stir in some salt, pepper, and any other spices you like.

4. Prepare the Sauce

Mix your pizza sauce with Italian seasoning in a small bowl. This adds a nice flavor boost to your pie.

5. Roll Out Dough

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface. You want it big enough to cover your pie dish. It’s okay if it isn’t perfect!

6. Assemble the Pie

Place the rolled dough into your pie dish. Spread the sauce evenly on the bottom, then layer the cooked beef and cheese on top.

7. Add Toppings

Add any additional toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, or onions. Get creative here!

8. Bake the Pie

Put the pie in the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. The aroma will drive you wild!

9. Cool and Serve

Let the pie cool for a bit before slicing. This helps the layers set, making it easier to serve.

Recipe Variations and Add-ins

If you want a lighter version, use turkey instead of beef. It works well without losing that meatiness.
