1 cup Pizza Sauce
1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
1 tablespoon Dried Basil
0.5 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

1 package Refrigerated Pizza Dough or homemade

Equipment

Skillet
9-inch pie dish
Rolling pin
Spatula
Oven mitts

Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until browned, about 7-8 minutes, then drain excess fat.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, pizza sauce, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Roll out pizza dough and fit it into a greased 9-inch pie dish, leaving overhang around edges.
Pour the beef mixture into the dough-lined pie dish and spread evenly. Top with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Optionally, add pepperoni on top.
Fold excess dough over the edges of the filling and leave the center exposed. Bake for 20-25 minutes until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For a healthier twist, consider using ground turkey, a veggie mix, or a low-carb crust. You can prep the pie ahead of time and refrigerate before baking; just add a few extra minutes to cooking time. The pie can be made gluten-free with the appropriate pizza dough. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results. Feel free to customize toppings according to your preferences!
