Potato Sausage Pie Food

SAUSAGE AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Combine sausage, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup onion, bread crumbs and water. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie pan, forming a rim along edge of pan. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until juices run clear; drain. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon of drippings. Add potato; cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Add green pepper and the remaining onion. Reduce heat to medium; cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. In bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper; stir in cheddar cheese. Add to skillet; reduce heat and cook for 2-3 minutes or until eggs are slightly moist. Spoon into sausage shell. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella; crumble bacon over top. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

SAUSAGE PIE IN CRISPY POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick spray.
• Spread the hash browns over a layer of paper towels to air-dry for 10 to 15 minutes (alternatively, you can press them vigorously between layers of paper towels 2 to 3 times).
• In a medium bowl, stir the dried hash browns, melted butter, Parmesan and pepper together. Press the mixture into the base and evenly up the sides of the prepared skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake until the potatoes begin to become golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the filling: Toss the sausage, scallions and 3/4 cup of the Cheddar in a medium bowl to combine.
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper and hot sauce, if using.
• Carefully press the sausage mixture into the browned crust. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar. Carefully transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the crust is deeply browned and very crisp and the filling appears set when you gently shake the skillet, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

POTATO SAUSAGE HAND PIES

Steps:

• Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Drain well.
• In a bowl, mix together the sausage, mashed potatoes, cheese and ground mustard.
• Unroll one pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll the circle into more of a rectangle shape.
• Cut the pie dough rectangle into 6 equal rectangles.
• Spoon about ⅓ cup of mashed potato mixture onto three of the rectangles that you cut. Spoon the mixture out to about ½ inch of the sides of the dough.
• Place the remaining dough rectangles overtop the potato mixture, matching the edges.
• Use the tines of a fork to press the edges together all around the rectangle.
• Use the tines of a fork to poke a few holes in the top of the hand pie to vent.
• Place the hand pies on a non-stick baking sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining 3 pie crusts to make a total of 12 hand pies.
• Make an egg wash by whisking the egg and milk together in a small bowl
• Brush the top of the hand pies lightly with the egg mixture.
• Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.
• Serve warm with warmed beef gravy for dipping.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

SAUSAGE, SPINACH AND POTATO TART

Steps:

• For the dough: Add flour and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter to the bowl and pulse until the mixture looks like crumbly sand. Add the egg and water and pulse again until the dough comes together.
• Very lightly flour the work surface. Dump the dough onto the floured surface and knead a few times until it comes together. Shape the dough into a disc and roll out to a 13-inch circle. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Level the edges with your fingers. Prick the bottom of the tart with a fork. Freeze until firm, 25 minutes.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• While the tart is in the freezer, add the potatoes to a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Add a big pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook the potatoes until tender but still with a bit of resistance, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Lightly drizzle the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, and cook, breaking up with the back of a wooden spoon until crumbly and browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the spinach by the handful and stir until it just wilts down. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and stir in the green onions. Remove to a bowl to cool.
• Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and stir in the milk. Whisk together until combined and then add some salt and pepper.
• Remove the tart from the freezer. Cover the top with parchment paper and add pie weights or dried beans. Place on a sheet tray and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the pie weights and parchment paper and continue baking for 10 minutes more.
• Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F.
• Evenly sprinkle the par-baked tart shell with half of the grated cheese, then the cooked potatoes, and finally top with the sausage and spinach mixture. Pour the eggs over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 45 minutes.
• Cool the tart for 10 minutes before serving. Can be served warm or at room temperature.

SAUSAGE & MASH PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the sausages over a medium-high heat for 10-12 mins, turning them until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate, then put the butter in the pan and heat until sizzling. Tip in the onions, stirring them into the butter, then sprinkle over the sugar and fry for 8-10 mins until the onions are golden. Scatter over the flour and stir to make a paste, then add the tomato purée. Cook for a minute, then add the vinegar, pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer. Tip in any juices from the sausages, then cut the sausages into thick slices and add to the pan. Simmer everything together for 5 mins until you have a glossy onion gravy. Tip the mixture into a baking dish.
• To make the mash, tip the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 10-12 mins or until just cooked (the tip of a knife should slide in easily). Drain and leave for a minute. Pour the milk into the pan and bring to a simmer, then tip in the drained potatoes and butter, and mash thoroughly. Season to taste.
• Top the sausages and gravy with the mash, starting from the edge of the dish and working your way into the middle. Use a fork to scrape lines in the topping and scatter over the cheese, if using. Can be assembled, covered and chilled for up to two days or frozen for three months. Defrost completely before cooking. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pie on a tray for 35-40 mins until the top has browned. Leave to cool for 5 mins before scooping straight from the baking dish at the table and serving with peas, if you like.

GROUND BEEF AND SAUSAGE PIE (PASTRY OR POTATO TOPPED)

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.

• Add in the broth or consomme; simmer for 15 minutes.
• Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• In a small cup whisk together 2 tablespoons soft butter with the flour and add into the simmering mixture; stir with a wooden spoon until thickened.
• Transfer the mixture to prepared baking dish.
• Top with prepared pastry leaving 1-inch overhang, turn the edges under and press firmly to the inside of the dish, then flute.
• Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is browned and the pie is bubbley.
• Let sit 15 minutes before serving.

ROAST POTATO, TURKEY, SAUSAGE & STUFFING PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large, shallow ovenproof casserole dish. Add the onion and cook for 10 mins until really soft. Push the onion to one side of the dish and add the sausages, browning them all over (skip this step if you're using cooked leftovers).
• Remove the sausages from the dish and set aside to cool a little. Stir the mustard powder, flour and stock cube into the oil and butter for 1-2 mins, then add the white wine. Bubble for 1 min, scraping the bottom of the dish to release any tasty bits, then add the stock. Stir to make a smooth sauce, season and bubble for 5 mins. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Cut the sausages and stuffing into bite-sized chunks, add to the sauce with the turkey, mustard, crème fraîche and parsley. When bubbling, remove from the heat. Crumble the potatoes in your hands over the top of the filling, so you have some larger and smaller chunks. Scatter with cheese and bake for 40 mins until the potatoes are crisp and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
