Homemade Monterey Sausage Pie

Ingredients:

  1. Sausage Perfection: Begin by browning a pound of sausage in a skillet, ensuring a rich and flavorful foundation for your pie.
  2. Vibrant Vegetables: Dice a cup of red pepper, a sweet onion (Walla Walla or Vidalia), and half a cup of mushrooms (brown or white). Sauté these vegetables along with 3 teaspoons of fresh minced garlic until they become tender and aromatic.
  3. Eggcellent Batter: In a separate bowl, create a delightful batter by whisking together 1 and 1/3 cups of milk, 3 eggs, 3/4 cup of Bisquick (or a similar baking mix), 3/4 teaspoon of sage, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. This harmonious blend will contribute to the pie’s perfect texture.
  4. Cheesy Harmony: Integrate 2 cups of grated Monterey Jack cheese into the sausage and vegetable mixture, reserving about 1/2 cup for a cheesy garnish.

Instructions:

  1. Oven Overture: Preheat your oven to 400°F, setting the stage for the culinary symphony about to unfold.
  2. Sausage Symphony: Pour the skillet mixture into a generously greased deep-dish pie plate, creating a savory base for the pie.
  3. Batter Ballet: Gracefully pour the prepared batter from the mixing bowl over the savory ensemble, ensuring a symphony of flavors in every bite.
  4. Baking Ballet: Allow the pie to dance in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until it achieves a golden, baked perfection.
  5. Cheese Crescendo: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese on top of the pie and bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the cheese to gracefully melt into a luscious crescendo.
  6. Cooling Crescendo: Let the pie cool for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize before serving.
