Description
Cajun Potato and Cheddar Sausage Hand Pies are savory parcels packed with a flavorful mix of smoked sausage, vibrant vegetables, and gooey cheese, all encased in flaky pizza dough.
Ingredients
- 4 Eckrich Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links, diced
- 12 oz. diced breakfast potatoes
- 10 oz. diced carrots
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups cheddar, jack, and/or mozzarella cheese
- 2 refrigerated pizza dough
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sausage, breakfast potatoes, carrots, Cajun seasoning, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cheese. Toss well to combine and set aside.
- Roll out one pizza dough on parchment paper to a rectangle about 16 x 12 inches. Cut this dough into 16 smaller rectangles, roughly measuring 4 x 3 inches.
- On each rectangle, place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center, leaving a 1 1/4-inch border around the edges.
- Take the second piece of pizza dough and cut it into 16 rectangles as well. Place these on top of the filled rectangles.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the pies.
- Transfer the parchment paper with the hand pies to a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
These hand pies can be served warm or at room temperature. For added flavor, serve with a zesty dipping sauce like remoulade.
