Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook the Sausage Filling<\/strong><br \/>\nHeat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saut\u00e9 Onion and Garlic<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add the thyme, and season with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the Creamy Filling<\/strong><br \/>\nSprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Slowly add the milk and chicken broth, whisking to prevent lumps. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat, stir in the shredded cheese, and fold in the cooked sausage. Set aside to cool slightly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the Pie Crust<\/strong><br \/>\nRoll out one pie crust and line the bottom of the pie dish. Pour the sausage mixture into the pie shell and smooth the top.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the Top Crust<\/strong><br \/>\nRoll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Press the edges together to seal the pie. Use a knife to make small slits in the top crust for steam to escape.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg Wash and Bake<\/strong><br \/>\nBrush the top of the pie with a beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish. Bake for <strong>35-40 minutes<\/strong>, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let It Cool and Serve<\/strong><br \/>\nAllow the sausage pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why This Recipe Works<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Savory Sausage<\/strong>: Adds rich, meaty flavor and makes this pie a satisfying meal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Creamy Sauce<\/strong>: The perfect balance of indulgence without being too heavy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese and Thyme<\/strong>: Adds a comforting and aromatic touch to elevate the flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simple Pie Crust<\/strong>: Whether store-bought or homemade, it creates the perfect flaky, buttery exterior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nutritional Information (per serving)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Calories<\/strong>: 420 kcal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protein<\/strong>: 18g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carbohydrates<\/strong>: 35g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fat<\/strong>: 24g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fiber<\/strong>: 3g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Hearty and Flavorful Delight Serves: 6-8 Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 5&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4350,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Homemade Sausage Pie - Grandma Baking Recipes","description":"A Hearty and Flavorful Delight Serves: 6-8 Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes Ingredients: 1 lb sausage (Italian, pork, or"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4349"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4349\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4352,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4349\/revisions\/4352"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
