Ingredients
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional:
- Chopped green onions
- Diced bell peppers
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Detailed Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a pie dish or baking pan.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage with the chopped onion.
Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked (about 6–8 minutes).
Drain any excess grease to prevent the pie from becoming oily.
Step 3: Assemble the Base
Spread the cooked sausage mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage.
Step 4: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, Bisquick baking mix, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
Make sure there are no lumps for the best texture.
Step 5: Combine and Bake
Pour the batter evenly over the sausage and cheese.
Do not stir—the mixture will settle and create layers while baking.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until:
- The top is golden brown
- The center is set
- A knife inserted comes out clean
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
This helps it firm up and makes serving easier.
Tips for the Best Sausage Pie
- Use Monterey Jack cheese for a smooth, creamy melt.
- Don’t skip draining the sausage—it keeps the texture perfect.
- Let it rest before cutting for clean slices.
- Add veggies like bell peppers for extra flavor.
