Pizza Pot Pie

Dig into the layers of flavor with our Hearty Pizza Casserole Pie, where every slice is packed with your favorite pizza toppings! 🍕🥧

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6

Ingredients

For the crust:

1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie dough)
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the filling:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground sausage or Italian sausage, casing removed
1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup pepperoni slices
1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Additional toppings:

Extra mozzarella cheese for topping
Additional pepperoni slices for topping

Instructions

Prepare the crust:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a deep pie dish. Brush the crust with olive oil. Pre-bake the crust for about 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
Make the filling:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
Add sausage and cook until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until everything is well combined and cheese starts to melt.
Assemble the pie:

Spoon the filling into the pre-baked crust. Top with additional mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices.
Cover with another layer of pie crust if desired, sealing the edges and cutting slits to allow steam to escape.
Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When ready to eat, you can reheat them in the oven to maintain the crispy texture of the crust.

Reheating Tips

To reheat, place the pot pies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This method helps to keep the crust flaky and delicious. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the crust soggy.

Variations and Substitutions

Feel free to experiment with different fillings such as sausage, olives, or even pineapple for a Hawaiian twist. Gluten-free and vegan dough options can also be used. You can also try using a variety of cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or provolone for a different flavor profile.
