Description

This comforting Hamburger Pie is the ultimate weeknight dinner solution, combining tender ground beef with savory pizza sauce and crisp green peppers. Encased in a buttery, flaky pastry shell and topped with generous layers of melty mozzarella, it offers a satisfying crunch and rich flavor in every bite. It&# 226;€™s a creative twist on classic casserole dishes, perfect for feeding a family or bringing to a potluck. Simple to assemble with pantry staples, this dish delivers warm, home-cooked goodness that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Roll out the pastry shell or pizza crust dough, fitting it into a pie plate. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped green pepper (and green onion if available) to the beef. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the pizza sauce and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
  5. Spoon half of the meat mixture into the pre-baked pastry shell. Sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Add the remaining meat mixture on top of the cheese layer. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
