Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust and gently place it in a pie dish, pressing it firmly into the edges.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef alongside the diced onion until fully cooked and onions are translucent. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese until melted.
  4. Pour the beef mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.
  5. Top with remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and add pepperoni slices if desired.
  6. Place a second pie crust over the top, seal edges, and cut slits for steam to escape.
  7. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
