Instructions

How to Make Ultimate Cheesy Stuffed Layered Pizza Pie

  • Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a springform or deep cake pan.
  • Start layering by placing a noodle at the bottom, then add pizza sauce, a layer of beef, pepperoni, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Repeat for 3-4 layers, finishing with noodles on top.
  • Spread more pizza sauce over the last layer, then top with additional mozzarella, remaining pepperoni, and optional black olives. Cover with foil to prevent burning.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Allow the pie to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh basil or additional Parmesan for extra flavor. Enjoy with a crisp green salad.
