Ingredients

  • 12 ounces mild Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (from 1 onion)
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper (from 1 bell pepper)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups marinara or pizza sauce (from 1 [24-oz.] jar)
  • 1 (5-oz.) pkg. mini pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 (14.5-oz.) pkg. refrigerated piecrusts
  • 8 ounces whole-milk mozzarella, shredded (about 2 cups), divided
  • 8 (0.75-oz.) provolone cheese slices, divided
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Method

  • Add onion and bell pepper to skillet over medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until tender and blistered, about 6minutes. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in marinara sauce, pepperoni, olives, and cooked sausage. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Press 1 piecrust in a 9-inch pie plate, allowing excess to hang over the sides. Spoon 2 cups of the sausage mixture into piecrust. Top with 1 cup of the mozzarella, and 4 slices of the provolone. Repeat with remaining sausage mixture, mozzarella, and provolone.
