Sausage Broccoli Pie
This is an amazing dinner that the whole family loves. I used a homemade crust but you could easily use a store bought one or even use frozen deep dish shells to make it easier. The filling is a lovely combo of cheeses, eggs, broccoli. and sweet italian sausage. To see a version with a closed top crust check out this Broccoli Sausage Cheese Pie.
