Cooking Tip of the Day: Recipe: Cheesy Sausage Pie

This is a quick and easy recipe for a meat pie… a terrific meal for those nights when you’re short on time… cook the filling and pop it in the oven … then relax while it bakes..

Serve it with some biscuits and you have yourself a nice little meal with hardly any clean up.. now how great is that?

This recipe is slightly adapted from a Pillsbury recipe. I changed very little… added more corn and spices… I made it a deep dish pie rather than a regular pie.

TIPS

I added a tablespoon of Italian seasoning to the recipe.. after tasting the filling.. I felt it was just too bland… if you prefer a blander pie.. just don’t add the Italian seasoning.

I used a blend of shredded cheese, Colby and Monterey Jack… or you can use Cheddar…

I hope you try this!
