Farmer's Market Sausage Pie
From Taste of Home
Our 4-year-old son, Lukas, named this savory pie for the Saturday
morning farmer's market that's held near our state capitol. Most of
the fresh ingredients called for in the recipe can be found there and
baked into this deliciously different entree. —Teri Schuman, Oregon,
