Savory Sausage Pie
I guess technically this is really a quiche, but it is so much heartier and filling than your typical quiche, that I decided to call it a pie. Also, men who think they don’t like quiche will definitely like this!
Here’s what you’ll need to make it, this recipe make 2 pies:
ingredients
You will need pork sausage (I like to use hot), cheddar cheese, sour cream, a small onion (I only used half of this one), eggs, and 2 regular pie crusts (I am using frozen).
Begin by browning your sausage over medium heat:

While your sausage is browning, dice your onion into a fine dice.

After your sausage is browned and crumbled, drain off the grease and let it cool.
