Casseroles rarely have a crust, but I thought it would make a nice change to a standard casserole dish. You can add different seasonings to this dish according to taste, but I find it tastes amazing as is.The different types of cheese along with the heavy cream lend a rich taste to this dish, making it very difficult to eat just one piece.
Blend three cups of Bisquick and one-half teaspoon of salt in a medium-size mixing bowl. Cut In one cup of shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until crumbly.
Mix the cold water into the mixture slowly, until it forms a dough-like consistency. If you find that it’s too dry, add a little more water.
Form the dough into a ball and divide it into two pieces.
Gently roll each piece on a lightly floured surface and place one into a prepared pie pan. The other piece will cover the top of the filling.
Sausage Filling
Preheat the oven to three hundred and fifty degrees. Cook the ground sausage over medium heat and drain the oil.
In a mixing bowl combine three beaten eggs, three tablespoons of Bisquick, one cup of grated mozzarella, and one cup of grated cheddar cheese.
Stir in one cup of cottage cheese, one-half cup of heavy cream, one-half teaspoon of black pepper, and the garlic powder. Mix all ingredients until well combined and stir in the ground sausage.
Pour the sausage mixture evenly into the prepared pie shell and cover with the top piece. Crimp the edges together and brush the top with the beaten egg. Poke a few holes into the top for venting, using a fork, and bake for thirty minutes.
Cover the pie with foil and bake for an additional thirty minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for approximately fifteen minutes. Enjoy!
