Ingredients

• 2 pieces Refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground Italian sausage
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 piece Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place one of the refrigerated pie crusts into a 9-inch pie dish and press it gently into the dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the pizza sauce, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 6

Spread half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom pie crust in the pie dish.

Step 7

Pour the sausage mixture over the cheese, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese on top of the sausage mixture.

Step 8

Place the second pie crust over the top of the filling. Seal the edges by pinching the top and bottom crusts together. Trim off any excess dough and crimp the edges for a decorative touch if desired.

Step 9

Brush the top of the pie lightly with the beaten egg to create a golden crust. Use a knife to cut 3-4 small slits in the center of the pie crust to vent steam.

Step 10

Bake the sausage pizza pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Check the pie around the 30-minute mark and cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they are browning too quickly.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious sausage pizza pie!
