Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground sausage
• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 package Refrigerated pie crust
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Boil over medium-high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring, allowing the mixture to thicken into a gravy. Stir in the thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and toss with the onion-gravy mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Mash the drained potatoes with 3 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of milk until creamy. Stir in the cheddar cheese and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough, leaving a slight overhang.

Step 9

Fill the pie crust with the sausage mixture, spreading it into an even layer. Top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 10

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the egg wash.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Hearty Sausage Potato Pie!
