Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create a dish that’s bound to become a staple in your home, just like it has in mine.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and set aside your pie crust to come to room temperature.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage and onions until the sausage is browned and the onions are translucent. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
3. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and transfer the sausage and onions to a mixing bowl.
4. Add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, and black pepper to the sausage mixture. Stir until well combined.
5. Place the pie crust in a pie dish and pour the sausage mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and bubbly. The edges of the crust should be a lovely golden hue.
7. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor, if desired.

Remember, the kitchen is your playground. Don’t stress if a little cheese spills over or if the crust isn’t perfectly shaped. It’s those imperfections that make it truly yours.
