Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
½ onion, chopped
1 (12 ounce) package spicy ground pork sausage
4 eggs
½ cup Ranch-style salad dressing
½ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 dash hot pepper sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch white sugar
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft. Add sausage, and cook until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, Ranch dressing and milk. Stir in shredded cheese. Season with hot sauce, salt, pepper and sugar.
  • Spread sausage mixture in the bottom of crust. Cover with egg mixture, and shake lightly to remove air, and to level contents.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven, prick top with a knife, and let cool 10 minutes before serving.
