Step-by-Step Instructions
To make this delectable deep-dish pizza burger pie, start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Make sure you break it apart as it cooks, so it gets nice and crumbly. I usually toss in the Italian seasoning while it’s cooking to infuse that amazing flavor right into the meat. Once the beef is fully cooked, drain the fat and mix in the pizza sauce. Allow this mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until everything is nice and combined, making your kitchen smell absolutely divine. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
