Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast, a satisfying brunch, or a comforting weeknight dinner, this Monterey Sausage Pie checks all the boxes. Think of it as a gourmet twist on a classic cheeseburger pie—loaded with savory sausage, sautéed vegetables, aromatic spices, and plenty of melted Monterey Jack cheese, all held together by a tender Bisquick-based crust.

Let’s dive into this satisfying deep-dish pie that’s bound to become a new favorite in your household!

Prepping Your Ingredients

Start by browning 1 pound of sausage in a skillet over medium heat. As the sausage sizzles, dice up:

• 1 sweet onion (Walla Walla or Vidalia preferred)

• 1/2 cup diced mushrooms (white or brown)

• 1 cup diced red bell pepper

• 3 tsp fresh minced garlic

Add the vegetables and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant. This hearty blend of meat and veggies is the base of your flavorful pie filling.

Whisk Up the Magic Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine:

• 1 and 1/3 cups milk

• 3 eggs

• 3/4 cup Bisquick or biscuit mix

• 3/4 tsp sage

• 1/4 tsp pepper

Whisk everything together until smooth. The sage adds a warm, earthy depth that beautifully complements the sausage and cheese.

Assembling the Monterey Sausage Pie

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a deep-dish pie plate with non-stick spray.

Here’s how to put it all together:

1. Drain any excess grease from your skillet mixture.

2. Transfer the sausage and veggie mixture into the pie plate.

3. Stir in 2½ cups of grated Monterey Jack cheese, reserving a little for topping.

4. Pour the Bisquick mixture evenly over the filling.

5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden.

6. Top with remaining cheese and return to the oven for 1–2 minutes, just until melted and bubbly.
