In today’s post, we’ll venture into a magical fusion of two iconic dishes: a classic pepperoni pizza and a comforting burger pie. Meet the Pizza Burger Pie – an innovative recipe guaranteed to tickle your taste buds!
Ingredients
- 1 pound of lean ground beef (7% fat content)
- 2/3 cup of Bisquick
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Vidalia onion, sliced
- A handful of fresh mushrooms, cleaned
- 14 ounces of pizza sauce (one jar)
- 12 to 16 ounces of sausage
- 1/2 block of cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 block of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 5 slices of Canadian bacon
- Pepperoni slices to taste
- Extra mozzarella for topping
- Jalapenos to taste (optional)
Step-by-Step Guide
- Preheat your grill (or oven) to 400°F (204°C). Outdoor cooking gives the dish a unique flavor, but you can also bake this in your oven if preferred.
- In a pan, brown the lean ground beef. Once cooked, turn off the heat, remove the beef, and drain any excess fat.
- In a bowl, whisk together two eggs, Bisquick, and milk until combined.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the pan. Add the mushrooms, pour in the pizza sauce, and mix well.
- Next, stir in the sliced green bell pepper and the Vidalia onion. Remember, you can adjust the quantity of onion according to your taste.
- Pour the Bisquick, egg, and milk mixture over the beef and veggies, ensuring it distributes evenly.
- Add in the sausage. For authenticity, I usually add in between 12-16 ounces. (source: Ineskohl.info)
- Now, layer the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella onto the mix.
- Sprinkle the dried oregano and basil over the cheese layer. If you have fresh basil, even better!
- Now, it’s time for Canadian bacon! Lay the bacon slices onto the pie. It’s okay if you don’t have the real deal, American ‘Canadian bacon’ works just fine too.
- Add a layer of pepperoni slices because, let’s face it, it’s not a pizza without some pepperoni!
- As an optional step, add some jalapenos to spice things up.
- Cover the top with a layer of extra mozzarella and put the pie into the preheated grill.
- Cook the pie for about 50 minutes at around 400°F (204°C). Monitor the grill temperature and adjust if needed.
- Check the pie for doneness. It should feel firm to the touch. If not, give it another 10-15 minutes.
- Once cooked, let the pie cool down for about 10 minutes before you slice it up.
Take a bite and savor the cheesy, meaty goodness of this pizza burger pie. With the Bisquick giving it a pleasant fluffiness and the pizza sauce adding tanginess, it is a surprisingly delightful dish. If you love crispy, traditional pizza crusts, this might be a unique change for you.
So, why wait? Get your hands on these ingredients and let’s turn an ordinary day into a backyard cooking adventure. And remember, this Pizza Burger Pie can be personalized to your taste, so don’t hesitate to get creative with your toppings!
