Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, try using a spicy sausage or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture. If you have picky eaters, you can omit the onions and bell peppers, or substitute them with mushrooms or spinach. For a different cheese flavor, consider using cheddar or pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack. This pie can also be made with a homemade crust if you prefer, adding a personal touch to the dish.
