Ingredients

• 1

  pie shell

• 1 pound

  ground sausage

• 1/2 cup

  chopped mushrooms

• 1/2 cup

  chopped onions

• 1/4 cup

  dried green peppers

• 1/2 teaspoon

  dried basil

• 1/8 teaspoon

  sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon

  salt

• 1 1/2 cups

  shredded cheddar

• 1 cup

  milk

• 3

  eggs

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400-degrees, bake the pie shell for 15 minutes with a pie weight. If you don't own a pie weight, dried black beans or rice will do.

Brown the sausage, and sift it out, leaving the grease behind in the pan. Add the onions and mushrooms to the hot grease, sauté until soft. Sift out, leaving as much of the grease in the pan as you can.

Press the sausage with paper towels, getting rid of the excess grease. Add to the cooked pie shell. Top the sausage with the mushroom-onion mixture.

Combine the basil, dried green peppers, sugar, salt, milk and eggs in a small bowl. Top the pie with the cheddar, and then pour the egg mixture over everything. Cover with aluminum foil.

Reduce the oven heat to 350-degrees and bake the quiche for 45 minutes. Uncover, and cook an additional 15 minutes. Slice and serve hot! Goes wonderfully with fresh fruit, juice, and coffee!
