Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned and crumbled, drain any excess fat.
Make the gravy by adding butter to the sausage. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Let it simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
Prepare the puff pastry by rolling it out and lining the bottom of a pie dish, leaving some overhang.
Fill the pie with the sausage gravy mixture. Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the top, creating a rustic look.
Brush the pastry with a beaten egg for a glossy finish (optional).
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Garnish with parsley and let the pie cool slightly before serving.
