– 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a pie dish by rolling out the pizza dough to fit the bottom and sides.

Cook the Ground Beef:

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Pizza Burger Pie:

– Press the pizza dough into the pie dish, covering the bottom and sides.

– Spread the cooked beef over the dough as the base layer.

– Top the beef with a layer of pizza sauce, spreading it evenly.

– Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

– Add layers of pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, pickles, and crumbled bacon (if desired).

– Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Bake:

Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil for a golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
