How to Make Monterey Sausage Pie

Cook the sausage

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a pie dish or round baking dish.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage with the chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onion is soft.

Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds more.

Drain any excess grease.

Add the filling

Spread the sausage mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Top with the chopped bell pepper and drained diced tomatoes.

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over everything.

Make the egg mixture

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, biscuit mix, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Pour this mixture over the sausage and cheese in the baking dish.

Bake

Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve

Slice and serve warm.

It is great on its own, or with a small salad, toast, or roasted potatoes.
