Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1 can (14 oz) pizza sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish.
-
Cook the beef mixture:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add the pizza sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the beef mixture, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Assemble the pie:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form a crust. Press the seams of the dough together.
- Spread the beef and pizza sauce mixture evenly over the dough.
- Top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. If using, add the sliced pepperoni on top of the cheese.
-
Bake the pizza burger pie:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve and enjoy:
- Let the pizza burger pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the delicious, cheesy, savory combination!
