Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

6-8 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling:

1 pound ground beef

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

Optional: sliced olives or mushrooms for topping

For the Topping:

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold cubed butter and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

      - Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Do not overwork the dough. Shape it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

        Cook the Beef:

          - In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain the excess fat. Stir in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

            Assemble the Filling:

              - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, sliced pepperoni, and diced bell peppers. Mix well.

                Roll Out the Crust:

                  - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

                    - Take the chilled dough from the refrigerator and divide it in half. Roll out one half on a floured surface into a circle large enough to fit a pie dish.

                      Layer the Pie:

                        - Place the rolled-out crust into the pie dish, pressing it against the bottom and sides. Pour the filling mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

                          - Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping them together with your fingers or a fork. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

                            Bake the Pie:

                              - Brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) for a golden finish. Sprinkle additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top for extra cheesiness.

                                - Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Allow the Pizza Burger Pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy!
