Layer half of the meat mixture in the crust, followed by half of the pepperoni and half of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Repeat layers with the remaining meat mixture, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges, and cut slits for steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
