Notes
- Serve the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie warm for the best flavor and texture. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness.
- To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through for a tasty second meal.
- For longer storage, freeze the pie by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
