    1 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp of rich olive oil
  • 1 lb of flavorful bulk Italian sausage
  • 2 tbsp of savory sausage drippings
  • 2 tbsp of creamy margarine
  • 2 crisp apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 big onion, thinly sliced
  • A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the taste
  • 1 tsp of aromatic dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp of versatile all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of clear water
  • 3 cups of velvety mashed potatoes
  • 1 tbsp of melted margarine

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and preparing a 2-quart casserole dish by greasing it.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and cook Italian sausage until it turns brown and crumbly, which should take approximately 10 minutes. Then, transfer the sausage to the casserole dish using a slotted spoon, ensuring to drain any excess drippings and reserving 2 tablespoons in the skillet.

Step 3

Next, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir apple and onion slices until they become tender, which usually takes around 8 minutes. Add the cooked apple and onion to the casserole dish with the sausage.

Step 4

Gently combine the sausage, apple, and onion in the casserole dish, and season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and oregano for added flavor.

Step 5

In the same skillet where the drippings were reserved, brown flour over medium heat. Whisk water into the flour until a thick gravy forms, which typically takes about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Pour the prepared gravy over the sausage mixture in the casserole dish. Spread mashed potatoes over the top with a spoon, creating peaks for a visually appealing presentation. Lightly brush the mashed potatoes with 1 tablespoon of melted margarine.

Step 7

Bake the dish in the preheated oven until the potatoes are lightly browned, and the sausage mixture is bubbling, approximately 30 minutes. Enjoy this delicious and flavorful casserole straight from the oven!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by organizing your pantry with labeled containers for all your key ingredients, such as potatoes, tomatoes, and herbs, so you can easily find them when you're ready to make your savory fusion pie.
  2. 2. For easy access and convenience, store your pie crusts in the freezer. When you're ready to bake, simply thaw them out in the refrigerator overnight for a perfectly flaky crust.
