Monterey Sausage Pie

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until no pink remains. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir 2 cups of the shredded cheese into the hot sausage. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pie plate.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, biscuit mix, sage, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the milk-egg mixture over the sausage and cheese in the pie plate.
  6. Bake 20–25 minutes until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese on top and bake 1–2 minutes more until melted.
  8. Let the pie stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Use turkey sausage or spicy Italian sausage to change the flavor.
  • Fold in ½ cup diced green pepper or chopped spinach into the sausage layer for extra veggies.
