Ingredients

Sausage: 1 pound of ground sausage preferably sage or spicy, for a robust flavor.
Milk: 2 cups of whole milk for a creamy gravy.
Flour: 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to thicken the gravy.
Seasonings: 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground sage, and an optional 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
Puff Pastry: 1 package thawed or homemade, for a flaky crust.

Instructions

Prepare the Sausage Gravy:

In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles until browned (7-10 minutes).
Sprinkle flour over the sausage, stir, and cook for 2 minutes.
Gradually pour in milk while stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened (5 minutes).
Season with salt, pepper, sage, and red pepper flakes. Adjust to taste.

Assemble the Pie:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and line a 9-inch pie dish, leaving an overhang.
Fill with sausage gravy and cover with another sheet of puff pastry. Trim and crimp edges to seal. Cut slits for steam to escape.

Bake the Pie:

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
