1 lb ground beef
1 jar pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 egg
½ cup breadcrumbs (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat.
Cook the beef mixture: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with the egg and breadcrumbs (if using). Mix until everything is well combined.
Assemble the pie: Grease a pie dish and press the beef mixture into the bottom to form a crust. Spread pizza sauce evenly on top, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the sauce.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve & enjoy: Cut into slices and enjoy this cheesy, flavorful dish that combines the best of both worlds – pizza and burgers!
