Ingredients

Scale

1 deep-dish pie crust

0.5 pound ground beef

0.5 pound Italian sausage

20 slices pepperoni

1 teaspoon garlic powder

0.5 teaspoon onion powder

0.5 teaspoon black pepper

1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

2.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

0.5 cup ricotta cheese (optional)

0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup pizza sauce

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

0.5 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to the meat mixture and stir well.
Spread half of the pizza sauce on the bottom of the deep-dish pie crust.
Layer half of the meat mixture, followed by half of the pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. If using, add ricotta cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, ending with mozzarella cheese on top.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on the top layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize the meat and cheese according to your preference. A mix of meats such as ham or bacon can also be added for extra flavor.
