Sausage, Cheddar and Guinness Pie Recipe

That title pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? I mean, really.

After making that Guinness Chocolate Cake and Guinness and Beef Stew, we had a few bottles left over, so we decided to throw another Guinness recipe your way.

You don’t mind, do you?

We didn’t think so.

How to Make Our Sausage, Cheddar and Guinness Pie Recipe

Start the recipe off right, and brown sausages on all sides. They don’t need to be cooked all the way through, only browned. We used Johnsonville brats, but use whatever sausage you like!

Transfer the sausages to a plate for a little bit, and then cook some onions and carrots. Cut the carrots and onion coarsely and make them big. Cook the onions and carrots down for a couple minutes then add some garlic — about 3 cloves.

After adding a little butter, flour, beef stock and the beer– it looks like this.

Then, we slice the sausages and add lots of cheddar cheese.

Then, eat as is or add everything to a baking dish, cover with pastry and bake until golden brown.

Pretty awesome, right?

We just love this one — in fact, we’ve also made this without the pastry and instead served over mashed potatoes.

6. Remove sausages and slice into 1/2-inch rounds then add back to the pot. Add 1 cup of cheese and stir into gravy. Taste for seasoning then adjust with salt and/or pepper.

8. Pour everything into a medium 2-3 quart baking dish. Brush the top and sides of baking dish with egg wash.
9. Unroll pie crust and use a rolling pin to shape it so that it will cover the top of the baking dish. Top baking dish with crust. Brush the top of the crust with additional egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Bake in the oven about 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown on top and flaky.
