Pizza Pot Pie
This pizza pot pie combines the joy of pizza with the classic structure of a pie for a deliciously unique meal.
Ingredients
- 16 oz pizza dough
- 16 oz ground beef
- 15 slices pepperoni as desired
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup onions chopped
- ½ cup mushrooms chopped
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 3 tablespoons butter melted + more as needed to saute
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping
- ¼ cup ranch for dipping
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the pizza dough in half. Roll one half extremely thin, about the same thickness as a pie crust dough sheet. Grease a springform pan or pie pan with cooking oil. Line the pan with the thin pizza dough sheet and trim to fit the pan. Roll out the other half of the dough so it is as thin as pie crust. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips, then assemble a lattice pie topper by overlaying the strips of dough in an alternating fashion.
- Cook and crumble the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cream cheese until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper, then let cool for several minutes. While it cools, sauté the onions, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes in a teaspoon of butter over medium heat for about ten minutes, until the onions have softened.
- Spread the beef mixture into the pan lined with the pizza dough. Top with the pepperonis, sautéed vegetables, and other toppings as desired. Sprinkle the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses over the top. Add the lattice to the top of the pie, trimming to fit, and pinching the edges to close.
- Melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Brush the garlic butter across the top of the lattice and any exposed sides of the dough. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Let rest for about 10-20 minutes before cutting; otherwise, the filling may seep out. If using a springform pan, release the pie and slide it onto a serving platter. Serve with marinara and ranch dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
