SAUSAGE AND PEPPER "PIE"

Steps:

• *Hot, sweet or specially flavored is fine. If you're using links, cut into 1/4-inch slices. If using bulk sausage, brown and drain.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large (15 x 10-inch) baking sheet with parchment.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Saute the bell pepper and onions about 5 minutes, or until the onion turns translucent.
• Pat one package (do NOT separate into individual rolls) of the crescent roll dough into a rectangle on prepared baking sheet, sealing seams.
• Layer the cheeses on top of the roll dough. Spread the sausage evenly over the cheese. Spread peppers and onions over the sausage.
• Open remaining rolls-again do NOT separate. Lay them across the top of the "pie" sealing seams and ends as best you can-it's OK if it looks a bit "rustic."
• Sprinkle parmesan cheese on the top "crust."
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until roll dough is golden brown.

BBQ ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPER PIE

Steps:

• Heat grill on medium-high. Lightly dust baking sheet with flour. On floured surface, shape dough into 14-inch round; place on prepared sheet. Brush dough with 1 teaspoon oil.
• Place peppers and sausages, cut sides down, on grill and cook, covered, 3 minutes. Turn and grill, covered, until sausages are cooked through and peppers are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to cutting board; slice.
• Transfer pizza dough to hot grill grate, oiled side down, and cook, covered, until top begins to bubble and bottom is crisp, about 2 minutes. Brush top of dough with remaining 1 teaspoon oil.
• Turn dough over and sprinkle grilled side with half of mozzarella, then all of onion. Top with peppers, sausage and pepperoncini; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Grill, covered, until bottom is golden brown and crisp and mozzarella has melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; cut into pieces to serve.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPER PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions for a few minutes or until translucent, then throw in the peppers, garlic, salt, italian seasoning and optional cayenne. Saute for 6-7 minutes or until the peppers are soft. Remove veggies from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving behind as much oil as possible.
• Remove the sausage from it's casings and pull apart with your fingers. Throw into the pan and brown, breaking apart with a wooden spoon. When browned, drain the grease from the pan and add the veggies back in, along with the tomato paste. Stir to combine. Add half of the mozarella and stir again.
• Pour the mixture into a large oven-proof skillet or pie pan. Top with the remaining mozarella.
• Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Arrange in a spiral with the points of the dough towards the center, overlapping slightly to cover the sausage mixture completely. Press the dough to the edges of the pie pan to seal.
• Bake for 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

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.
