Sausage and Gravy Pie

This tasty brunch-style pie features a homemade hash brown crust brimming with chunky sausage, creamy gravy and baked eggs.

It's so easy to prepare,  you can almost make it in your sleep. ;-)

Step 1: Ingredients you'll need:

Complete shopping list, in order of use: 

• 1 lb Russet potatoes
• 1 heaping teaspoon Seasoning salt
• Nonstick cooking spray
•  
• 1/2 cup yellow onion- chopped
• 1 Tablespoon Butter
• 1 lb fresh Pork sausage- (Jimmy Dean? ;-)
• 6 oz fresh Chorizo sausage (optional, but so darn delicious!)
• 4 Tablespoons Cornstarch (not flour)
• 2 cups whole milk
• salt and pepper to taste
•  
• 1 and 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese- shredded
• 4-6 eggs- (Small eggs if possible)

Tools:

• 9" deep-dish Pie pan
• 1 deep medium skillet
• a wooden spoon
• Cheese grater
• Paring knife
• Paper towel

Crust Preparation: 

Preheat oven to 425°F

Wash the potatoes and pat dry.  Grate with a cheese grater, then use a paper towel to squeeze out the excess moisture.  Sprinkle on 1 heaping teaspoon of seasoning salt.  Toss to coat. 

Spray 9" pie pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Add the grated potatoes and spread them out evenly in the pan, sides included.

Bake for 20 minutes or until light gold in color.

While the crust is baking, it's time to make the sausage gravy. -->

Sounds great--it's going on my to try list. Thanks for sharing, and good luck on the contest!

This looks delicious. I think if I made it I would scramble the eggs before I added them, because I don't really like my eggs sunny-side-up, which is too bad because I really like the look they add to the pie when done that way. I bet this would also be good with some peppers and mushrooms added. Now I'm hungry.

Haha, It doesn't look like there's much you could to improve on this recipe, but I do love sauteed veggies.

[bajablue]

I really think you were spot on, Rambler.

Fresh sauteed veggies would be so amazing served with this pie. I wish I'd thought of it!

Looks great. Does the potato crust stay crispy after filling it?

[bajablue]

Not noticeably... but I think the hash brown crust really helps the slices hold their shape well.

Thanks for your comment, cg!
