Sausage and Potato Pie

I was having one of those days where you have NO idea what you are going to make for dinner?  Nothing in the refrigerator looked appetizing.   My cookbooks didn't offer much hope either  OH NO, I have no idea what I am going to make for dinner, we are going to starve!  So off I trot to my computer and on to the Internet.  Somehow I stumbled upon this recipe by Johnsonville.  I had most of the ingredients and would have to do a bit of compromising.

Even though this is a real easy recipe, it require a run to the grocery store for a few of the ingredients - pork sausage, potatoes and cream of potato soup.  The recipe calls for 2 cups frozen diced potatoes, I used fresh potatoes, diced them up and boiled them in water until they were tender - worked for me!

Sausage and Potato Pie by Johnsonville

Ingredients

1 lb mild pork sausage
2 cups frozen diced potatoes (see note above)
1 cup sliced green onions - I didn't have green onions, so I used white onions instead
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp ground sage
1 can cream of potato soup (didn't have that, so I used cream of mushroom)
pepper
2 pie crusts (I used the pie crusts from my apple pie recipe)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350
Brown and drain sausage and onions.

Mix all the ingredients (except the pie crusts ) in a large bowl

Put one of the pie crusts in the pie pan and press it against the sides and bottom - trim any excess off

Spoon filling into the pie crust.

Roll out the second crust and place over the top of the filling.  Again, trim off any excess.

Press the edges together and seal with decorate edge.

Bake for 1 hour.

Oh yes, this is definitely a winner!!  My husband said it reminded him of a "chicken pot pie."  It was very good and filling!!  I cut the slices way too big!!  Next time I am going to buy the cream of potato and see if that makes any difference.
