Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts, softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage or ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Let one pie crust sit at room temperature while you prepare the filling.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the mushrooms, olives, and green bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly. Remove from heat.
  6. Gently stir in the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese until combined. This is your savory filling.
  7. Place the first pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Press it lightly into the bottom and up the sides.
  8. Pour the pizza filling evenly into the crust-lined pie plate.
  9. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim the edges of both crusts, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  10. Brush the top crust lightly with the beaten egg.
  11. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  12. Let the Pizza Pot Pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute your favorite pizza toppings, like pepperoni or cooked, crumbled bacon.
  • If you like extra sauciness, add a splash of water or a tablespoon of extra tomato sauce to the filling mixture.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality Italian sausage.
