Garlic: Fresh minced garlic enhances aroma and taste, adding that irresistible savory note.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare yourself for a delicious adventure into the world of Sausage Gravy Puff Pie!
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your pie gets that gorgeous golden finish while baking.
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook diced onions until they’re translucent and fragrant—about 3 minutes. Next, add minced garlic and sauté until it’s aromatic but not browned.
Cook the Sausage: Add your ground sausage to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned through—around 5-7 minutes—making sure those delicious drippings are left behind.
Add Flour and Milk: Sprinkle flour over the sausage mixture and stir well to combine. Gradually pour in milk while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens—this should take about 3-5 minutes.
Season Generously: Season your gravy with salt, pepper, and sage. Taste-test to ensure it’s bursting with flavor! Adjust if necessary because no one likes bland gravy.
Assemble Your Puff Pie: Roll out one sheet of puff pastry into your pie pan, filling it generously with the sausage gravy mixture. Cover with another layer of puff pastry on top, sealing the edges gently.
Now it’s time to bake! Place your assembled pie in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will have everyone flocking toward it like it’s Thanksgiving dinner!
And voilà! You’ve created a comforting Sausage Gravy Puff Pie that’s sure to impress family and friends alike. Don’t forget to share some stories while you enjoy this delicious creation together!
