For a vegetarian option, substitute the Italian sausage with plant-based crumbles or a medley of roasted vegetables. Get creative with your pizza toppings! Add pepperoni, olives, cooked bacon, or pineapple for a customized flavor explosion. To prevent the crescent dough from browning too quickly, tent the pot pies with foil during the last few minutes of baking. Ensure the ramekins are oven-safe before using them in this recipe. These pot pies can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from chilled.

Step

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and brown the Italian sausage, discarding any excess grease. (Cook time: 5-10 minutes). Add the sliced onion, diced green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables soften, releasing their fragrant flavors. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes). Pour in the pizza sauce and let it simmer, allowing the flavors to meld into a harmonious blend. (Cook time: 5-10 minutes). Stir in 1/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese, creating a luscious, cheesy sausage mixture.

Spoon one-quarter of the sausage mixture into each prepared ramekin. Sprinkle each with one-quarter of the remaining mozzarella cheese, creating a tantalizing cheesy layer. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Step

Roll out the crescent roll dough and divide it into four equal pieces. Carefully drape a piece of dough over each ramekin, gently pressing the edges to seal in the flavorful filling. Transfer the pot pies to a baking sheet. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Step
2 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough turns a beautiful light golden brown, indicating its flaky perfection. (Bake time: 10-12 minutes). Let the pot pies cool slightly before inverting them onto plates and serving. (Cool time: 10 minutes)

Mar 14, 2025I found that the crust cooked a little faster than the filling heated through. Next time, I will blind bake the crust for a few minutes.
