About this Recipe
-
1 Package sweet chicken sausage
-
1 cup finely chopped onions
-
1 cup Diced red pepper
-
4 cloves garlic minced
-
2 medium sized potatoes, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup green peas
-
1 cup cut corn
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 4 Tbs. butter
-
4 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 block, 8 oz. Cello Fontina Cheese
-
2 boxes Pillsbury pie crusts
Step 1
Grease 2 muffin pans, (12 cups) with butter.
Step 2
Cut pastry dough to line muffin cups.
Step 3
Bake in 350 degree oven till golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat on medium. Add sausage and brown on all sides bringing internal temperature to 160 degrees. Remove sausage and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet add another 2-3 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is hot add diced potatoes, cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once tender, add onions, red pepper, minced garlic, peas, corn and diced carrots. Cook 8-10 minutes, or until veggies are tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Cut up sausage into bite sized pieces and add to potato mixture. Once combined scoop mixture into a bowl. Set aside.
Step 7
In the skillet melt butter scraping the bottom of the skillet and slowly add 4 cups chicken broth and salt and pepper to taste. Make a rue using 1/2 cup chicken broth and flour. Use this as a thickening agent for gravy, slowly stirring constantly.
Step 8
Once gravy is thickened we are ready to put together sausage pot pie cups. Spoon sausage mixture into each pastry cup, filling them. Spoon gravy over mixture about 1-2 tablespoons per cup and top with a slice of Cello Fontina Cheese. Place in the oven for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted.
