~----------------- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix the meats, bread crumbs, egg, oregano leaves, salt
and half of the tomato sauce. Press the mixture
evenly against the bottom and sides of an ungreased
10-inch pie pan. Sprinkle the mushrooms and olives in
the meat line pan then pour the remaining tomato sauce
over the vegetables. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
The pepperoni gives a red-flecked appearance to the
meat. Sprinkle the pie with the shredded cheese and
bake an additional 5 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes then
cut into 6 wedges. NOTE:
If a 10-inch pie pan is not available, use a 9-inch
one but put a pan under it to catch the run off of
juices. Also you can use an 8 oz can of cut green
beans or whole kernel corn in place of the mushrooms
if desired.
