Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ½ (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 (14 ounce) package Smoked link sausage, pork
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1 cup frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Roll out puff pastry to the dimensions of the casserole dish, adding 1 inch on all sides. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 more minute, stirring occasionally. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in broth and cream gradually, stirring continuously until sauce bubbles. Add sausage pieces, vegetables, and potatoes. Cook, stirring continuously, until mixture bubbles again, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour into the prepared casserole dish.
- Place puff pastry on top of the filling, letting excess dough hang over all sides. Brush pastry with the beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is browned and the pot pie is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Cover loosely with foil after 25 minutes, to prevent overbrowning.
- Remove from oven and cool on a rack for about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
