Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup Italian sausage, crumbled
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (2.5 oz) refrigerated pizza crust (or homemade dough)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a deep-dish pie pan or pizza pan with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Cook the Meats:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage until fully cooked.
    Drain excess fat.
    Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
    Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Prepare the Pizza Crust:
    Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust on a floured surface to fit the size of your pan.
    Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, ensuring an even thickness.
  4. Assemble the Pie:
    Spread half of the marinara sauce over the crust.
    Layer the cooked meat mixture evenly over the sauce, followed by the pepperoni slices.
    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then add the remaining marinara sauce.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the crust is cooked through.
  6. Serve: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Salted Honey Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 large egg yolks (lightly beaten)
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch (sifted)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Flaky sea salt (for garnish)

    Instructions

    1. Prepare Crust: Place the pie crust into a deep 8-inch or standard 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the fridge. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    2. Mix Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to boil and thicken.
    3. Temper Egg Yolks: Slowly whisk a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks to temper them. Gradually add more, whisking until smooth. Then combine the remaining cream mixture with the eggs.
    4. Add Honey & Vanilla: Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until fully combined.
    5. Assemble Pie: Pour the custard mixture into the chilled pie crust.
    6. Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling bubbles and turns golden. The center will still be a bit jiggly.
    7. Cool & Set: Remove the pie from the oven and cool on the counter until it reaches room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate until fully set.
    8. Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a perfect sweet-and-salty finish.
