        Instructions<\/h2>\n

        1. Preheat the Oven<\/h3>\n

        Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>.
        \nLightly grease a deep-dish pie pan or springform pan.<\/p>\n

        2. Prepare the Crust<\/h3>\n

        Place one pie crust into the pan, pressing it firmly along the bottom and sides.
        \nBrush the crust lightly with melted butter\u2014this helps prevent sogginess.<\/p>\n

        3. Cook the Meats<\/h3>\n

        In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and sausage until browned, breaking them apart as they cook.<\/p>\n

        Add the chopped onion and cook for 3\u20134 minutes<\/strong> until softened.
        \nStir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds<\/strong> until fragrant.<\/p>\n

        Season with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
        \nDrain excess grease if needed.<\/p>\n

        4. Assemble the Pie<\/h3>\n

        Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the bottom crust.
        \nAdd half of the meat mixture, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n

        Add pepperoni slices, then the remaining meat mixture.
        \nTop with the remaining sauce and all remaining cheeses.<\/p>\n

        5. Top with the Second Crust<\/h3>\n

        Place the second pie crust over the filling.
        \nCrimp the edges to seal and cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
        \nBrush the top crust with melted butter.<\/p>\n

        6. Bake<\/h3>\n

        Bake uncovered for 40\u201345 minutes<\/strong>, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.<\/p>\n

        If the crust browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.<\/p>\n

        7. Rest and Serve<\/h3>\n

        Let the pie rest for 10\u201315 minutes<\/strong> before slicing.
        \nServe warm and enjoy this cheesy, deep-dish masterpiece.<\/p>\n
