20 Easter Sausage Pie Recipe Deliciousness Awaits You!

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3-4 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

• 1 lb ground sweet Italian sausage
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt for the crust. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the crust to the pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges as desired. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
3. In a large skillet, cook the sweet Italian sausage over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, cook the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until softened. Add in the peas and carrots and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet, along with the chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is thickened.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and spread evenly.
7. Roll out the remaining dough and place it on top of the filling. Cut a few slits in the top for ventilation and crimp the edges to seal. Brush with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water) for a shiny finish.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
