Notes
For an extra crispy crust, brush the edges of the pie crust with melted butter before baking. Feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives to the meat mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, use spicy sausage or add some red pepper flakes. To store leftovers, cool the pie completely, then wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
