Amazing Pizza Pot Pie: 1 Heartwarming Bite Is Pure Bliss

Pizza Pot Pie

This recipe combines pizza toppings and cheese inside a flaky pot pie crust. It is a hearty and soul-warming bake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 sheet (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add ground Italian sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Stir in marinara sauce and pepperoni. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  6. Divide the mixture among four 6-ounce ramekins or individual oven-safe dishes.
  7. Unroll the pie crust and cut out four circles slightly larger than the tops of your ramekins.
  8. Place a pie crust circle over each ramekin, pressing gently to seal the edges. Cut a few small slits in the top of each crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Brush the tops of the pie crusts with the beaten egg.
  10. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the fillings with your favorite pizza toppings.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and add more vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
  • If you do not have individual ramekins, you can use a single 9-inch pie dish, adjusting baking time as needed.
