Let me tell you about the night I first made this.
It was raining. The kind of slow, steady drizzle that turns sidewalks into mirrors and makes you want to stay in your sweatpants forever. My kids were whining about “what’s for dinner,” and I opened the fridge with that familiar “Please just give me something easy” prayer.
And there it was:
Ground sausage. A half-full bag of cheese. Eggs. Milk.
No fancy meal plan. No inspiration. Just… potential.
So I took a deep breath, remembered my grandma’s crust trick, and threw together what would become our new family favorite: Monterey Sausage Pie.
Now, don’t let the word pie scare you.
This isn’t some fussy dessert with lattice work and pastry flour.
This is a soul-warming, one-dish wonder—flaky on top, creamy and savory underneath, and packed with the kind of flavor that makes people groan happily after the first bite.
It’s comfort food, elevated.
And once you try it, you might just cancel takeout for good. 🙌🧀
