Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pie crust and press it into a greased 9-inch pie pan. Poke the bottom with a fork and bake for 5 minutes, then set aside.

3. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned, then drain excess fat.

4. Assemble the Pie: Spread half of the pizza sauce over the pre-baked crust. Layer the cooked beef, onions, and bell peppers. Sprinkle half the mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

5. Top It Off: Add the remaining pizza sauce, then the rest of the cheese. Finish with pepperoni slices.

6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad!
