Keto Deep-Dish Hamburger, Sausage & Pepperoni Pie Recipe
Keto Deep-Dish Hamburger, Sausage & Pepperoni Pie combines seasoned ground beef, beef sausage, pepperoni, and melted cheese in a hearty pizza-inspired bake. Its meat-and-egg base replaces conventional flour pastry, while measured marinara adds tomato flavor. Brown the meat thoroughly and let the pie rest before slicing for a firmer texture. Serve with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables for a satisfying low-carb dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound 454 g ground beef, preferably 85–90% lean
- 8 ounces 227 g ground beef Italian sausage
- 3 ounces 85 g beef pepperoni
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup 112 g shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ cup 50 g finely grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup 120 g low-sugar marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano optional
- Cooking spray or a little oil for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or similarly sized baking dish.
- Brown the ground beef and beef sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat for approximately 8–12 minutes, breaking the meat into small crumbles until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Allow the meat to cool slightly. Mix it with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes and oregano.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl, then combine them with the meat, half the mozzarella, and the Parmesan.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spread the measured marinara over the top, arrange the beef pepperoni evenly, and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella.
- Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 25–35 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the center reaches 160°F (71°C).
- If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil while the center finishes cooking. Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for approximately 10 minutes.
- Cut into eight portions and serve warm. Add extra marinara at the table if desired, accounting for its additional carbohydrates and calories.
