Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.25 lbs ground beef
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
  • 1.5 oz salami cut into bite-size pieces
  • 0.25 cup diced pimientos drained
  • 1 oz pepperoni cut into bite-size pieces
  • 14 oz bruschetta 1 container
  • 3 large eggs divided
  • 2 cups shredded Italian-blend cheese
  • 2 pie crusts refrigerated or homemade

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Add the ground beef and Italian seasoning to a large skillet and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the spinach, salami, pimientos, pepperoni, and bruschetta into the skillet and cook until warm throughout.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a large heat-proof bowl and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add TWO of the eggs and the shredded Italian-blend cheese to the meat mixture and stir until well combined. Set aside.
  6. Roll out one of the prepared pie crusts into a 9-inch pie plate.
  7. Pour the filling into the pie crust, then cover with the second pie crust and crimp the edges securely.
  8. Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top of the pie crust. Cut a few slits in the center of the pie to allow steam to escape while baking.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

This recipe is a fantastic way to use up leftover meats and is easily customizable with different cheeses or vegetables. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
