Sausage Pie (Easter Pie)
This is the traditional family recipe from my grandmother. Although when I made it, I added a little easter ham in it as well for some extra flavor. This recipe is very very tasty, but not the most figure friendly dish. This is a large recipe which is freezable. I froze about 1/2 the recipe for a few months later and it still tasted just as good.
