(6 servings) Printable Version
- 1 frozen pie crust
- 8 ounces pork breakfast sausage
- 1 cup frozen shredded hash brown potatoes - thawed
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 chopped red or green bell pepper

How To Make A Back Woods Breakfast Pie
In a frying pan over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the sausage. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until sausage is no longer pink and vegetables are softened.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place crust on a baking sheet. Scatter sausage mixture around bottom of crust. Top with potatoes and cheese.
Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper until completely blended; pour over sausage-potato mixture in crust. Bake for 35 minutes or until the egg mixture is cooked and the crust is lightly browned.
Sprinkle with additional cheese and peppers, if desired.
A hearty, satisfying breakfast pie. After you cook the sausage, it's just a matter of putting everything in a pie crust and baking for about 30 minutes.

Sounds great but I didn't see anything about the pie having a top cover to it or it doesn't call for a top crust. Oh well.

You can make this without the pie crust. Just put everything in a well-grease pie plate. We make this (or very close variations) all the time.

This looks fantastic! Ya'know, we never had a breakfast on Thanksgiving. Even as a kid I was up early with the smell of Turkey in the oven, my male cousins would come over and we'd take off into the woods for a hike until dinner was done. I think this year I am going to make this for breakfast! Thank-you!

We make a similar dish - called breakfast pizza. We use crescent roll dough and add a few TBLS of parmesan cheese to the top. We also press the potatos with a towel/ppr towels to decrease moisture. Everything but the eggs can be prepared and assembled the night before, cover in plastic wrap and regrigerate. Add eggs/milk to top in morning and bake. EVERYONE loves this recipe, so make plenty. We use is for every brunch and holiday breakfasts.

I made this for our school pitch-in. Everyone loved it. I accidentally used 1/4 cup of Green and Red peppers---I need to use my bifocals more often. It tasted great with the alteration and the color was magnificent! I would also like to add that the recipe was very easy to follow. I would highly recommend this recipe even for a novice.

This is the best quick and easy breakfast pie! It is so good any time of the day! I teach and all my friends beg me to make this when we do a breakfast! It is great for Christmas with the red and green veggie colors! You'll love it!

My son and I loved it. However we assembled it and baked it on a pie plate. It was even good the next day as a leftover. Yummy
