Ingredients

1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)

1 cup whole milk

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 ready-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking.

Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Once done, drain excess grease.

Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage in the skillet, stirring to combine. Gradually add the milk while continuously stirring. Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat.

Prepare the Pie Shell: Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and press it down gently to fit. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

Assemble the Pie: Pour the sausage gravy mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, covering the gravy.

Bake the Pie: Transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Slice and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
