SUPER CHEESEY SAUSAGE QUICHE

3/4 pound Italian sausage

1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced or diced

1/3 cup green pepper, chopped

1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1 tablespoon flour

1 9-inch pie crust

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup evaporated milk

1 tbs parsley flakes

1/2 teaspoon seasoned or plain salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Brown sausage. Drain, reserving 2 tbs fat. Sauté onion and pepper in 2 tbs fat reserved from the sausage. Combine cheese and flour, toss. Stir in sausage, pepper, and onion (I freeze my sausage cooked so my sausage was cool when I stirred them together). Spread evenly in pie crust. Thoroughly combine remaining ingredients and pour into pie shell over sausage mixture.

Place on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 40 minutes, until brown and set.

I double it and put it in a 9" deep dish and cooked it for about 60-65 min.
