Serves:<\/strong> 6-8
\nPrep Time:<\/strong> 25 minutes
\nCook Time:<\/strong> 40 minutes
\nTotal Time:<\/strong> 1 hour 5 minutes<\/p>\n

\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 1 lb sausage<\/strong> (Italian, pork, or your preferred variety)<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 1 medium onion<\/strong>, finely chopped<\/li>\n
  • 2 garlic cloves<\/strong>, minced<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme<\/strong> (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons flour<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 1 \u00bd cups milk<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup chicken broth<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup shredded cheese<\/strong> (cheddar or mozzarella)<\/li>\n
  • 2 large eggs<\/strong>, beaten<\/li>\n
  • Salt and pepper<\/strong> to taste<\/li>\n
  • 2 pie crusts<\/strong> (store-bought or homemade)<\/li>\n
  • 1 egg<\/strong> (for egg wash)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Preheat the Oven<\/strong>
      \nPreheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.<\/li>\n
    2. Cook the Sausage Filling<\/strong>
      \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
    3. Saut\u00e9 Onion and Garlic<\/strong>
      \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
    4. Make the Creamy Filling<\/strong>
      \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
    5. Prepare the Pie Crust<\/strong>
      \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
    6. Add the Top Crust<\/strong>
      \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
    7. Egg Wash and Bake<\/strong>
      \nBrush the top of the pie with a beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish. Bake for 35-40 minutes<\/strong>, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.<\/li>\n
    8. Let It Cool and Serve<\/strong>
      \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
