Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 1/4 lbs ground beef
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 10-oz box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 6 slices (1 1/2 oz) salami, cut into bite size pieces
  • 1/4 cup diced pimientos, drained
  • 1/4 cup (1 oz) pepperoni, cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 (14-oz) container bruschetta

Other Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, divided
  • 2 cups shredded Italian-blend cheese
  • 2 pie crusts (refrigerated or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef along with the dried Italian seasoning until the meat is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients to Skillet: Add the thawed and drained spinach, chopped salami, diced pimientos, chopped pepperoni, and bruschetta to the skillet. Stir and cook until the mixture is heated evenly throughout.
  4. Cool Mixture: Transfer the cooked mixture to a large heat-proof bowl and allow it to cool for 1 to 2 minutes to avoid scrambling eggs in the following step.
  5. Combine Eggs and Cheese: Add two of the three eggs along with the shredded Italian cheese to the cooled mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined and set the filling aside.
  6. Prepare Pie Crust Base: Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, smoothing it so the crust covers the bottom and sides of the dish evenly.
  7. Add Filling: Pour the meat and cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  8. Top Pie Crust: Cover the filling with the second pie crust and crimp the edges together to seal the pie completely.
  9. Egg Wash and Vent: Beat the remaining egg and brush it generously over the top crust to give it a golden, shiny finish. Cut several slits in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  10. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Serve Warm: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the frozen spinach is thoroughly drained to avoid a soggy pie crust.
  • You can substitute homemade pie crust or store-bought refrigerated dough based on convenience.
  • Cut slits in the top crust to prevent the pie from becoming soggy by letting steam escape.
  • Let the filling cool briefly before adding eggs to avoid curdling.
  • This pie can be served with a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
