Gravy Sausage Pie (Printable Version)

Comforting layers of puff pastry filled with savory sausage gravy. A hit for any meal of the day.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 package puff pastry, thawed
02 - 1/4 cup plain flour
03 - 1 teaspoon table salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
05 - 2 cups whole milk
06 - 1 lb ground sausage
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

# Steps:

01 - Warm up a big skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks until it turns brown. Toss the flour over the sausage bits and stir it around, letting it cook for 2 minutes. Pour the milk in little by little, giving it a good stir the whole time. Turn up the heat a bit and wait for it to start bubbling. Then turn it back down and let it simmer about 5 minutes until the gravy thickens. Toss in the salt, black pepper, and sage.
02 - Turn your oven on to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat.
03 - Roll out one puff pastry sheet and carefully press it into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, letting a little hang over the edges. Pour the gravy with sausage into the lined pan and spread it evenly. Roll out the second pastry sheet and lay it over the top. Trim off any extra bits, press the edges to seal, and poke a few tiny holes in the top to let out steam.
04 - Pop the pie onto the middle rack of your hot oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. It's done when the top turns crisp and golden.
05 - Take it out of the oven and give it a few minutes to cool before you cut into it. Slice and enjoy those delicious layers of meaty gravy and flaky crust!
