How to Make Pizza Pie
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage) over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 tbsp fennel seeds. Cook until beef is browned and vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Pour the beef mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
- Top with 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (optional; pre-cook in microwave on paper towels for 1 minute to reduce grease).
- Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 minutes.
- Evenly top with 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Yields 6-8 servings.
